King for a Day - The Gathering

In everyone hides a king for a day

Nature’s actors, in tragedies we play

But deep bows the head that bears the crown

For the weight of might can always pull us down

Soon my reign will end

I, a king without hands

Soon this day will end

As my tears descend

Everyone has his own dragons to slay

Look in her eyes, never turn away

Soon my reign will end

I, a king without hands

Soon this day will end

As my tears descend

Every treasure you find

And every road you take

Has it’s opposite side

Sacrifices to make

Dream on…

Sleep on…

Time is my only fear

An enemy of sand

My dreams are old

A new king will rise
