The tyrant reigns from his throne Chosen by the blind To lead them Fooled by lovely words And illusions of familiarity Everything will soon be gone Gone Now the tyrant reigns The tyrant reigns from his throne Over a people once great, Now a tempest of selfish cruelty Mirroring his own - Double-sided words And beautiful lies Disguising The true intentions of the tyrant's reign. The tyrant reigns from his throne Lying to our faces Confounded by his silken tapestry Of deceit Once strong, now meek They bow before The tyrant The tyrant on his alabaster throne. The tyrant reigns from his throne Basks in his success The price of our freedom Our lives Sold for his power without a thought - For his alabaster throne The throne The throne from whence the tyrant reigns.

Tyrant
The tyrant reigns from his throne Chosen by the blind To lead them Fooled by lovely words And illusions of familiarity Everything will soon be gone Gone Now the tyrant reigns The tyrant reigns from his throne Over a people once great, Now a tempest of selfish cruelty Mirroring his own - Double-sided words And beautiful lies Disguising The true intentions of the tyrant's reign. The tyrant reigns from his throne Lying to our faces Confounded by his silken tapestry Of deceit Once strong, now meek They bow before The tyrant The tyrant on his alabaster throne. The tyrant reigns from his throne Basks in his success The price of our freedom Our lives Sold for his power without a thought - For his alabaster throne The throne The throne from whence the tyrant reigns.
