Lyrics
Every man needs to have a castle
And you ruled yours just like a king
Your anger burned like fire, ‘til it scorched everything
Then left your peasants running for the door
How the mighty have fallen
Still you bark your commands
But it’s over except for crying
And the wringing of hands
Now you’re sifting through the ashes
How the kingdom fell apart
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Can’t put your pieces back together again
If you only had a mistress to help through the night
But there’s this hole where your heart goes with no bottom in sight
How the mighty have fallen
Still you bark your commands
But it’s over except for crying
And the wringing of hands
Now you’re sifting through the ashes
How the kingdom fell apart
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
Nothing left before you but the rain and grey skies
And the sight of your world just stings in your eyes
So you tried to drown your troubles as if someone would care
But no one seemed to notice when you came up for air
How the mighty have fallen
Still you bark your commands
But it’s over except for crying
And the wringing of hands
Now you’re sifting through the ashes
How the kingdom fell apart
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
But what has a king, without a queen’s heart?
