Overthrown - Josh Woodward

The lights are out, the shades are down

He’s got his scepter and his crown

He’s waking up, and all alone

He’s sinking in the cushions of his throne

But all the gold in Macedon

Couldn’t turn his head

He never saw the downfall coming

And he probably never cared

The king was overthrown

But he didn’t even know it

He once was strong, he once was loved

He lifted everyone above

But his arms got tired, from the heavy load

And he was breaking under all the weight below

He sat down to take a breath

But never stood back up

And everthing was fine without him

So he just let it go

The king was overthrown

But he didn’t even know it

He never even knew that he was done

He never even saw the setting sun fall down

He’s living in the corners of his mind

The only thing alive was there behind his crown

No one had the heart to tell him that his time was through
