lyrics

The palaces from the stories/ That I heard when I was child
I believed that some day/ I would get to see them
His Excellency/ Sitting on his giant throne
But now I finally understand / That he doesn't live there anymore

The faith of the children/ Is beginning to falter
Their Father has no power / Even on his own descendants
The King has become homeless/ He hast lost everything
The kingdom has collapsed/ His name has been forgotten

Standing on the edge of the open grave/ What is the right direction
Is that place really just a fable/ And is the white man just a liar

"*"Whole your life, you have tried
To reach for the sky, but why
And finally you realized everything is fabrication"*"

Why is the hallowed name of lord/ Locked in a secret chamber
They only want to make you blind/ And live your life in obedience
I see the palaces burning/ Taking memories with them in the sky
The ashes of the crown/ Are soaring on the ground

"*"Whole your life, you have tried
To reach for the sky, but why
And finally you realized everything is fabrication"*"

I have been misled my whole life
I'm awake and I don't believe in tales

The forsaken kingdom/ Ruins of the Paradise
Tainted, annihilated/ This was anticipated
We gave our own freedom/ A futile sacrifice
But we were vindicated/ Finally medicated

"*"Whole your life, you have tried
To reach for the sky, but why
And finally you realized everything is fabrication
Death is eternal/The paradise is just a slum
Completely empty and full of scum"*"

Fabrication!
