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
