Karma

I am a king of honor, gold and glory
But every king must also die
Have I been just and righteous? What is glory?
I know I've torn and taken life
And here I stand, a small and simple man
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
I am a king in crisis counting minutes
There is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me, I can feel it
That I have lived my life in vain
And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
Am I mad?
I feel so void and cold
Who can tell?
Who holds the stories untold?
Tired, trembling, I am descending
Will I have to stay here and live this life again?
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
