I am the king of nothing
the emperor of emptiness
i don't have a castle
and i don't wear a crown
I recall as a small child
the dreams that i once had
yes, i recall as a small boy
those dreams which drove me mad
'cause i once found myself a kingdom
it was not too far away
i once found myself a kingdom
but somehow i let it slip away
So i am the king of nothing
the emperor of emptiness
and i don't have a castle
and i don't have a crown
And i recall as a small child
those dreams i once had
i recall as a small boy
those dreams which drove me mad
I once found myself a kingdom
and i thought that it was here to stay
yes, i once found myself a kingdom
but somehow i let it slip away
So i am the king of nothing
the emperor of emptiness
and i don't have a castle
and i don't wear a crown
