I AM KING LYRICS

1. Fortune In Your Failure

The tides of man crash upon the rocks of relativity
Creating delusions of grandeur
I can't understand her
She's gone where I cannot follow
And she picks out my insides
Twisting, contorting her way in
While her mask of deception is painted by our sins
(I have eaten of the world)

I'm not asking for a second chance,
I just want you to make what you need me to be

Face yourself for time is an illusion
Tomorrow we die in vain
You've been misled
You are so hopeless and easily led
Break down these walls with truth

I'm not asking for a second chance,
I just want you to make what you need me to be
I won't bend, I won't break
For I'm saved by your grace, and your love
It overwhelms me

Destroy, create, rebuild! [2x]

I will not take part in this depravity
This blood belongs in my body,
You'll never take it from me
(Take it from me)

Destroy, create, rebuild! [2x]

Close your eyes and find the fortune in your failure
And swallow your pride
And dig deep inside
To find the piece in the storm
(That is your life)
Destroy, create, rebuild!

I'm not asking for a second chance,
I just want you to make what you need me to be
I won't bend, I won't break
For I'm saved by your grace, and your love
It overwhelms me

2. Monsters

This is all we have
Prepare for the worst
And let go of all fears
Don't let it take you in
To you, who hides
Who hides behind a mask
Your disguise is only getting clearer
So face yourself

Open your eyes and realize
That the monster inside
Is all you have to fear

The future lies in the palm of my hands
Wake me up, 'cause I'm still dreaming
Even though this world is deceiving

Take the time
And see these pieces
Fall into place
And everything I know
Has happened for a reason

Open your eyes and realize
That the monster inside
Is all you have to fear

We must let go of what we knew
And stand for what we know is true
I saw the light
And let the shadows replace it
I knew the truth
But I just couldn't face it

But I can't seem to find myself
Lost along the chain of memories
I have made

And there's something behind the clouds
That we can't see
All things that once had meaning
Drag behind me
We've been living a lie
We've been living a lie
A masquerade that will end in destruction
You've been living a lie
You're not at all what you pretend to be

When thoughts can only get you so far
Liar
Get down on your knees
And we see the darkness and the light
Entwine, as the end of the world
Becomes so clear to me

Open your eyes and realize
That the monster inside
Is all you have to fear

If you could see my heart
(so face yourself)
You'd see we're all the same
(You're all you have to fear)
If you could see my heart
(so face yourself)
You'd see we're all the same
(You're all you have to fear)

We're all the same

3. Chain Of Memories

Tell me,
Why do we have to be so selfish
In the way we think in the way we breath.
Aren't we better than our machines?
Our hearts have turned to stone.
We walk away from everything we've known.

We build our lives on these moments
And haven't you noticed
That it's never enough.
They left you scarred and broken.
Now that your eyes are open
Hold on tight.

I wish you could feel what I felt
And see what I've seen
As the colors of this life
Blend before me.
If I could turn back time
I'd tear down that tree
That separates the love
In front of you and me.

There I see you
Standing at the edge.
Trying so hard
To find our remedy.
We need to find the answers
Despite the questions you perceive.

And I have come to find
And realize,
I can do nothing
About the way we live our lives.
Sometimes i feel like I'm the only one
And this has just begun.
The sky is crying for the son.
Oh, can you feel me?

I wish you could feel what I felt
And see what I've seen
As the colors of this life
Blend before me.
If I could turn back time
I'd tear down that tree
That separates the love
In front of you and me.

This is the side of me
I never wanted to see.
I tried to fight it off,
The roots are taking hold of me.
We put on these blindfolds
So willingly.
This is the side of me
I never wanted to see.

4. Pawns & Kings

I have seen the light
From a far and distant shoreline

I see things so differently
Than you who claims to know it all
Well, you're just a pawn while I am a king
You will never be free

You walk around and wear these chains
As if they were a fashion
And you will be eaten alive
As the sky fades to black
And colors fade to gray
And you will die alone defeated inside
Just remember no one makes it out alive

So you think you know what it's all about?
When the only thing you've seen is your face in the mirror
There's so much more, there's so much more

For I have seen the future
There is an eye that watches all
As time slips through our fingers
We realize it was never in our hands at all
The fault of man, we think we understand
The fruits of knowledge

When the first step in knowing is knowing
That we know nothing at all

I see the light of our people
On a far and distant shoreline

So you think you know what it's all about?
When the only thing you've seen is your face in the mirror
There's so much more, there's so much more

Look into me
Why don't you take a step back and tell me what you see
Were we not meant once with our hopes and our dreams
That we traded for death
Just remember no one makes it out alive

So you think you know what it's all about?
When the only thing you've seen is your face in the mirror
There's so much more, there's so much more

5. Tell Me The Truth

Something doesn't fell right
I can't sleep
I keep tossing and turning
And I'm dying in my dreams
I know it's there
I feel it like a splinter in my mind
It's almost like a nightmare
But I'm not waking up this time

Am I the only one
Who thinks that we are only going
Backwards from the place we need to be?
And I will find my way
If you could just trust me
Maybe I could show you
I'm not the crazy one

Retrace the steps and pick up the pieces
Both yours and mine together we can find
That in a broken sort of way
Everything is perfect here
I feel it in my bones and I'm not sure
That we can make this out alive
Oh baby, not this time

The further away from where I was
The harder things become for me
Who am I now without a world whispering in my ear?
The son rises high in the sky but
The clouds of our past are all blocking
The light from shining through

Am I the only one
Who thinks that we are only going
Backwards from the place we need to be?
And I will find my way
If you could just trust me
Maybe I could show you
I'm not the crazy one

Retrace the steps and pick up the pieces
Both yours and mine together we can find that... [2x]

So tell me the truth when you look out your window
Do you think that everything is ok?

Am I the only one
(Think for yourself)
Who thinks that we are only going
(With your heart)
Backwards from the place we need to be?
(Your mind, your soul)
And I will find my way
If you could just trust me
Maybe I could show you
I'm not the crazy one

6. Destroy.Create.Rebuild.

Look into me, tell me what you see
Were we not men once with our hopes and our dreams
that we've traded for death?
Now we stand shattered and alone,
Longing to come home and kiss our mothers
But we can't go home, no
After all of the faces,
and the places that we knew
Through all this perversion,
And the death that we chose.

There is hope for the liars and the thieves,
The lost and lonely people in this world
Believe me I've seen it,
Swear that I mean it
And everything you've done is cast away,
away into the sea.
