Topple the Throne

[Verse 1]
I read the books on the dusty shelf About the kings who couldn't help themselves Troy was burning for a pretty face While the soldiers vanished without a trace It’s an ancient story, it’s a tale of old How the warmest touch turns the world to cold A little bit of skin, a little bit of eye And the strongest castles begin to die

[Chorus]
It brings the hammer down It steals the golden crown You chase the honey and you get the sting It’s the only power that can break a king I’m running hard but I’m slipping behind Caught in the trap of a one-track mind Yeah, the empire falls for a lover’s tone And I’m left standing in the ruins alone

[Verse 2]
I put my heart on the betting line Thinking this time surely would be mine But the deck is stacked and the game is rigged And I’m falling into the hole I digged She walks in and the room goes still Bending the iron of the strongest will I’m just a peasant in this royal court Short on money and the temper is short

[Chorus]
It brings the hammer down It steals the golden crown You chase the honey and you get the sting It’s the only power that can break a king I’m running hard but I’m slipping behind Caught in the trap of a one-track mind Yeah, the empire falls for a lover’s tone And I’m left standing in the ruins alone

[Bridge]
It’s biological, it’s chemical warfare Drag a man by the roots of his hair From the throne room down to the gutter street Admitting defeat at the queen's feet Admitting defeat Yeah, admitting defeat!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It brings the hammer down It steals the golden crown You chase the honey and you get the sting It’s the only power that can break a king I’m running hard but I’m slipping behind Caught in the trap of a one-track mind Yeah, the empire falls for a lover’s tone And I’m left standing in the ruins alone

[Outro]
Watch the kingdom fall Watch it crumble down Always chasing Always left behind Yeah, the ruins alone (Fade out)
