You're all alone on that great big throne You pray for the day your kingdom is overthrown You hear symphonies in misery You're like the boy who cried wolf and got away So muster your armies You'll never disarm me You'll have to burn me to the ground For someone to witness such blatant resistance Would be nothing short of profound Once upon a time, before we crossed the line Your heart would beat for nothing and for no one at all But that was then and this is now I can't wait to see your face when the walls come crashing down You make believe that life is all a mystery Your journeys for the answers have all come up empty So there you sit with your crown of thorns You'll save your tears for when the ships start washing ashore Take a look at me now, I've been all around the world I've been searching for something, I can't seem to find it I beg you call off the dogs Don't try to make an honest man out of me I've been so reckless for so long Can no one hear these rebel songs? Is anyone out there?
