Echoes of a Lost Crown

Lyrics

[INTRO]
I wake up on this cold hard ground,
Echoes of laughter, but no joy to be found.
Once I lived like a king, wearing a golden crown,
Now I’m just a face in a troubled town.

[VERSE 1]
I wake up with my pockets rolled,
Dreams now silent, stories left untold.
People passing by, young and old,
Look right through me, in the freezing cold.

I had it all, life was grand,
Living like a champ, a drink in my hand.
But a dark twist of fate turned my world upside down,
Now I’m just a ghost haunting this broken town.

[CHORUS]
Oh, if only they knew the hurt and pain,
Underneath the stars, standing in the pouring rain.
A life of riches turned into a game,
I’m trying to escape this heart-wrenching shame.

[VERSE 2]
I had a great job, money was tight,
But weekends of partying turned wrong from right.
Arguments flew; tears filled her eyes,
She left me for him, another pain in disguise.

Drinking to forget, running from regret,
Sniffing lines of sorrow, yeah, I’m drowning in debt.
Monday clubs hitting harder than before,
My life, a wreck, I can't take it anymore.

[CHORUS]
Oh, if only they knew the hurt and pain,
Underneath the stars, standing in the pouring rain.
A life of riches turned into a game,
I’m trying to escape this heart-wrenching shame.

[BRIDGE]
Lost my spouse, lost my house,
Living day by day just like a wood louse.
Searching for warmth in a sleeping bag damp,
Can someone hear me? Can someone light the lamp?

[VERSE 3]
Now I sit in this corner, shadows cast long,
Remembering the nights when I felt so strong.
Friends have all vanished, left me alone,
With a heart full of sorrow and a mind made of stone.

[CHORUS]
Oh, if only they knew the hurt and pain,
Underneath the stars, standing in the pouring rain.
A life of riches turned into a game,
I’m trying to escape this heart-wrenching shame.
