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.
