Overthrown

We took the fall To save the masses Try to contain As the day passes In another life, we could have ruled the world They hauled us from our thrones Beheaded, frayed, our reign unfurled We lost ourselves to the unknown Please take me away from here Please take me away from here Please take me away from here Back to the start, back to the beginning To where it all began The way things were How they used to be Succumb to fear And all discrepancies In another life, we could have ruled the world They hauled us from our thrones Beheaded, frayed, our reign unfurled We lost ourselves to the unknown Please take me away from here Please take me away from here Please take me away from here Back to the start, back to the beginning To where it all began I hid behind The wall of fractured clay Tears stained my cheeks My heart in disarray In another life, I could have ruled the world They hauled me from my throne Beheaded, frayed, my reign unfurled I lost myself to the unknown
