lyrics

when i was king
we would keep on singing
through our palace
then destroy our banquet

when you were queen
the phone stopped ringing
the lights just switched off
all i could hear was breathing

our daughters were bored
so they walked down the hall
opened the door
and saw that mother gone

i laid with a whore
a maiden from the work-floor
screaming from the door
until my anger could hear no more

in one fell swoop
my children had seen through
a facade of cabaret
my crown of shame

two years ago
they were dressed in your clothes
by the window
to which i threw them their bones

2 girls from our home
are now buried by the window
shouting "daddy" on the way down
glued by matching gowns

when i was king
when i was king

when i was king
i found that no one's singing
and what happened my queen
she stopped breathing
she stopped breathing
she stopped breathing
she stopped breathing
she stopped believing
