King of Nothing Songtext
von Practically Human

You were a big man but just a ghost in the crowd
You had some big dreams wish you could wake up now
Your name was called, the oil was poured
You took the crown but forgot who′s Lord
Wrapped in fame, they carried your throne
They shouted your name engraved in stone
But truth cuts deeper than a sword in the dark
You took the fire and you left the spark

You're the king of nothing, standing tall
The echoes in the chamber, the pride in the fall
Still gripping at ghosts, but they′ve all gone
Clinging to the shadow when the lights moved on

He gave, He takes, it was never yours. Not really. Let it go. You won't last


You gave your word but not your soul
You chose the praise and forgot the goal
You tore your robe, yeah you begged to seer
But the silence you heard was loud and clear
You wanted the power not the presence
You took seat but not the sentence
You wore the crown but hid the cross
Bend the knee before you're lost

You′re the king of nothing, shouting raw
With empty hands, your heart′s at war
The throne is ashes, the oil's gone dry
Still holding on while heaven asked why
He raised you up, He cast you out
You thought you could fight. You were just swept away
He raised you up. He cast you out
You thought you could fight. You were just swept away
