I am a king of honor
Gold and glory
But every king must also die
Have i been just and righteous
What is glory
I know i've torn and taken life
And here i stand
A small and simple man

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
Counting minutes
There is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me
I can feel it
That i have lived my life in vain
And now i know i'll reap
The seeds i've sown

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you

Am i mad
I feel so void and cold
Who can tell
Who holds the stories untold
Tired and trembling
I am descending
Will i have to stay here
And live this life again

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
Cause all you do in life comes back to you...
