(1’63) 2′ 1’  1′ 2′ 1’   1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 7 1′
Once I had an em-pire in a gold-en age.

(1’63) 2′ 1’ 1′ 2′ 1’   1′ (3’1’5) 2′ (75) 1′
I was held up so high. I used to be great.

1′ 5′ 7 (1’6)     1′ 2′ (3’1’5) 3′ 2′
They used to cheer when they saw my face.

5′ 7 (1’6)  1′ 2′ (3’1’5) 4′ 3′ (2’7)
Now, I fear I have fall-en from grace.

(1’5) 7 (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
And I feel like my cas-tle’s crum-bl-ing down,

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
and I watch all my brid-ges burn to the ground.

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5)
And you don’t want to know me.

1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7) 1′ (613)
I will just let you down.

2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 2′ (63)
You don’t want to know me now.

(1’63) 2′ 1’  1′ 2′ 1’    1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 7 1′
Once I was the great hope for a dy-nas-ty.

(1’63) 2′ 1’      1′ 2′ 1’    1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 3′ 4′ 3′
Crowds would hang on my words, and they trust-ed me.

1′ 5′ 7 (1’6)      1′ 2′ (3’1’5) 4′ 3′ (2’7)
The faith was strong, but I pushed it too far.

1′ 5′ 7 (1’6)    6 1′ (1’35) 1′ 2′ (2’7) (1’5) 7 (63)
I held that grudge till they tore me a-part.

1′ 2′ (1’6)   1′ 2′ (1’35)  1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 7 1′
Pow-er went to my head, and I could-n’t stop.

(1’63) 2′ 1’  1′ 2′ (1’35)  1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 3′ 4′ 3′
Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off.

6 (3’1′) 3′ 3′ 2′ 3’   1′ 1′ (3’1’5) 4′ 3′ (2’7)
And here I sit a-lone be-hind walls of re-gret.

(63) 7 (1’63) 2′ (64) 7 (1’6) 2′ (3’1’5) 4′ 3′ (2’7)
Fall-ing down like prom-is-es that I nev-er kept.

(1’5) 7 (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
And I feel like my cas-tle’s crum-bl-ing down,

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
and I watch all my brid-ges burn to the ground.

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5)
And you don’t want to know me.

1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7) 1′ (613)
I will just let you down.

2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ (3’1’5) 2′ 1′ 2′ (613)
You don’t want to know me now.

3′ 2′ 1′ (64) 3′ 2′ 1′ (63)
My foes and friends watch my reign end.

3′ 2′ 1′ (75) 7 7 7 (75) 1′ 7 1′
I don’t know how it could have end-ed this way.

6 (613) 6 6 6 7 7 6 7 1′
Smoke bil-lows from my ships in the har-bor.

6 6 (641) 6 6 (75) 7 6 7 1′
Peo-ple look at me like I’m a mon-ster.

1′ 1′ (1’35) 1′ 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ 3′ 2′
Now they’re scream-ing at the pal-ace front gates.

1′ 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7) 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 3′ (2’7) (613)
Used to chant my name, now they’re scream-ing that they hate me.

1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 3′ 2′ (63)
Nev-er want-ed you to hate me.

1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
My cas-tle’s crum-bl-ing down,

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5) 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7)
and I watch all my brid-ges burn to the ground.

1′ (613) 1′ (41) 1′ 3 (1’5)
And you don’t want to know me.

1′ 2′ 3′ (2’7) 1′ (613) (75) (1’63) 6 5
I will just let you down.

1′ (2’7) 3′ (1’5) 2′
My cas-tle’s crumb-ling

(613) 5 (41) 3 1
down.

2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 2′
You don’t want to know me

(613) 5 (41) 3 (1’5) 2′ 3′ (2’7) 1′ (3’57) 2′ 1′ (63)
now.
