All hope is lost
A shadow realm of fallen dreams
No visions left
All withered in the blinding light of day
A prophecy
Built on sand without grounding
Time passes fast
No salvation ever comes
And all that flies too high will fall
All our longings slowly cease
All our purposes will drown
Someday life's just passing by
I am the king
Of all the shattered dreams
I am the king
Of all the hopes – all long-lost hopes
My kingdom lasts
Until the last light fades away
I am the king
Of broken faith
Desires hushed
A silent world of wasted hopes
No dreams remain
All deposed by powerful incubi
The fire's burnt down
Ardour decays like dying embers
Illusions failed
No deliverance will come
And all that flies too high will fall
All our longings slowly cease
All our purposes will drown
Someday life's just passing by
I am the king
Of all the shattered dreams
I am the king
Of all the hopes – all long-lost hopes
My kingdom lasts
Until the last light fades away
I am the king
Of broken faith
We're falling to pieces when fate fades away
We are just falling apart
We're fading to grey when shades take the reign
What of us will remain?
I am the king
Of all the shattered dreams
I am the king
Of all the hopes – all long-lost hopes
My kingdom lasts
Until the last light fades away
I am the king
Of broken faith
I am the king (I am the king)
Of all the shattered dreams (I am the king)
I am the king (I am the king)
Of all the hopes – all long-lost hopes (I am lost)
My kingdom lasts (I am the king)
Until the last light fades away (I am the king)
I am the king (I am the lost king)
Of broken faith
