Dethroned lyrics

Lo, there lived a great one

Whose kingdom stood tall

On brittle bashed bones

Remains of the peons near

Their feelings mattered not

And their breath lesser still

For they inhabited a dominion

That solely kept a tyrant there

His pride was his own, alone

Reviewed by him only let so

That judgment held severe

To distance the meager self

From his lofty, ornate throne

Down the marble white steps

His thinly clad made crown

Fell clanking down upon it

Such a long distance to fall

Clattering upon stone loudly

Telling of a poor quality too

Lacking purity and rarity so

So easily toppled to ruin

Images believed, but erred

Fantasies of fanatics given

Lies made to be truths, lo

A crown worn so bartered

And earned an ass's ears

That bells would warn others

A fool delegated draws near

Lo, there lived a great one

Whose kingdom stood tall

Dethroned by life's consequence

In the depths of despair
