(Verse 1)
We march through the years, day after day,
Slaves to the grind, in a world of decay.
Chains of ambition, we drag through the mire,
Chasing the promise of a future we desire.
(Pre-Chorus)
The clock ticks away, our youth slowly dies,
Blinded by hope, we swallow the lies.
(Chorus)
Worn-out kingdom, built on blood and sweat,
A throne of empty dreams, a crown of regret.
We rise and we fall, through fire and strife,
Only to find, we gave up our life.
(Verse 2)
The weight of the years, it grinds down the bone,
Stripped of our vigor, left cold as stone.
The golden years promised, a distant mirage,
Replaced by the truth, a cruel entourage.
(Pre-Chorus)
We gave all we had, for a glimpse of the throne,
But the kingdom we built is one we don't own.
(Chorus)
Worn-out kingdom, built on blood and sweat,
A throne of empty dreams, a crown of regret.
We rise and we fall, through fire and strife,
Only to find, we gave up our life.
(Bridge)
Now in the twilight, the embers grow dim,
Our bodies are broken, and minds worn thin.
The wealth we amassed, a fleeting illusion,
Caught in the trap of a grand delusion.
(Chorus)
Worn-out kingdom, built on blood and sweat,
A throne of empty dreams, a crown of regret.
We rise and we fall, through fire and strife,
Only to find, we gave up our life.
(Outro)
The iron chains shatter, but the scars still remain,
Lost in the echoes of labor's refrain.
We built a kingdom, only to find,
The cost of the crown was the chains on our mind.
