Текст песни
Marble floors, but they're cold as graves
I built these walls just to be a slave
A golden crown on a hollow head
A king who sits on a silent bed
I hear the echoes of a life I sold
Traded warmth for a touch of gold
What is a kingdom, what is a throne
When you rule the empire all alone?
And the night whispers, I am your queen
The only solace that I've ever seen
But her cold embrace, it makes me see
I am a beggar, a king of rust
Rich in nothing but dust and trust
I have the power, I have the fame
But I'm a beggar calling your name
I'm a beggar with an empty chest
Who gave his all and got nothing left
A beggar, lost in my own design
'Cause the only wealth I need I never made mine
I see my shadow on a broken wall
A portrait of a man who lost it all
The void inside me is a hungry beast
It makes a banquet of my soul at least
I'd burn the papers, I'd tear the deeds
To plant a single flower from a seed
But what does it matter, what does it mean?
When your heart's a wasteland, nothing can be green
And the night whispers, I am your queen
A ghost of comfort in a dying dream
Her cold embrace, it makes me see
I am a beggar, a king of rust
Rich in nothing but dust and trust
I have the power, I have the fame
But I'm a beggar calling your name
I'm a beggar with an empty chest
Who gave his all and got nothing left
A beggar, lost in my own design
'Cause the only wealth I need I never made mine
All I have and I'm just a beggar
