lyrics

You twist my words around your fingertips
Just to scatter them like ashes in the wind
Picking up the pieces I make myself a crown
My self-proclamation rings out through the town

Listen closely now, I know you’d lost your way
If you follow me you won't be led astray

I’m the king of broken things, healing hearts from my golden halls
Crowds are gathered from far and wide to watch my rise and fall

The court of fools is in session once again
Going round the table meaning no offence
They talk in circles missing out the words they meant
The common man has lost all his common sense

I will speak the truth, you can count on me
(I will speak the truth, you can count on me)
Follow my command and I will set you free
(Follow my command, I will set you free)

I’m the king of broken things, healing hearts from my golden halls
(Hail to the king of broken things)
Crowds are gathered from far and wide to watch my rise and fall
(Watch the rise and fall)
