King in the Pouring Rain

Lyrics

[Verse] A crown of iron, a throne of stone Sitting silent in the cold alone The court is empty, the banners fade Beneath the weight of the choices made The scepter heavy in a trembling hand A silent ruler of a broken land [Chorus] But he stands like a king in the pouring rain Holding the ashes of a lost domain No gold can save what the fire consumed A lonely shadow in a temple ruined Still he wears the crown, though the kingdom's gone A weary sovereign waiting for the dawn [Verse 2] The whisper of ghosts in the empty hall Shadows dancing on a crumbling wall He traded the peace for a gilded name Now he's the keeper of a dying flame Every promise carved in the dust A sword of honor turning into rust [Chorus] But he stands like a king in the pouring rain Holding the ashes of a lost domain No gold can save what the fire consumed A lonely shadow in a temple ruined Still he wears the crown, though the kingdom's gone A weary sovereign waiting for the dawn [Outro] Waiting for the dawn The crown remains In the pouring rain [End]
