Listen to the track:
King for a Day
[Verse 1]
He came in calm with a promise wide
Silver tongue and hungry pride
Crowds believed the words he said
They crowned him king inside their heads
[Pre-Chorus]
He fed the fire, they fed the flame
No one stopped to call his name
[Chorus]
King for a day, fool for a lifetime
Built his throne on borrowed sunshine
Echoes fade, the crowd moves on
Only the silence lingers on
[Verse 2]
He ruled with show, he ruled with sound
Light and smoke spun all around
Truth grew thin beneath his crown
And faith fell slowly to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
The shine grew dim, the cheers grew cold
The story turned to dust and gold
[Chorus]
King for a day, fool for a lifetime
Built his throne on borrowed sunshine
Echoes fade, the crowd moves on
Only the silence lingers on
[Bridge]
All the words he could not say
Rise like ghosts and drift away
Paper crowns and painted fame
Burn in the dark but leave no flame
[Final Chorus]
King for a day, fool for a lifetime
Built his throne on borrowed sunshine
Echoes fade, the crowd moves on
Only the silence lingers on
