King For A Day
Battle Beast Lyrics

Welcome to the nightmare
This is a dark world where things are unpredictable and often scary

Where villains wear the crowns
Rather than being a world led by heroes, it is led by those with less than noble intentions

Fools rule a broken world
People who are not capable or competent have gotten to positions of power

And fear grows all around
The atmosphere is one of terror and uncertainty

There's a bad king
There is a person in power who is corrupt and dangerous

A dreadful puppet on a string
This person is being controlled by others and is not acting of their own accord

He pretends to be a champion
He is not actually a hero but he markets himself as one

Of the common man
He tries to make it seem as though he is looking out for the average person, but in reality he doesn't care about them

Wants more division
He tries to pit people against each other to keep them from realizing what is truly happening

In his lost and riven land
The society is deeply divided and has lost its sense of unity

He plays with real lives
He is willing to sacrifice and manipulate people to get what he wants

In the darkest game of life
He is playing a risky game and is willing to do whatever it takes to win

His greedy eyes
He is only interested in accumulating more wealth and power

Look insane, frozen smile like he's in pain
His facial expressions reveal a twisted and sinister underlying motive

He doesn't count
The well-being of other people is not something he takes into account

The human cost but only money made or lost
He only cares about how much he stands to gain or lose financially

King for a day
He is in power, but it won't last forever and he can't rule indefinitely

He kills the truth and looks away
He is not interested in the facts or reality of a situation and is willing to sweep inconvenient truths under the rug

Lives like the world would end today
He is living recklessly and unsustainably, without considering future consequences

What do you hide, why do you lie?
He isn't honest and is always concealing something from others

Who made the rules for this game?
He is questioning the legitimacy of the system that gave him power

Who is paying your champagne?
He is asking who is really funding his campaign and supporting him financially

All the mercy in the world
Even if people are forgiving and generous, it won't change the reality of the situation

Cannot save you anymore
He is beyond redemption and help from others

He knows how to justify
He is skilled at making excuses or rationalizations

And how to feed the myths
He is able to perpetuate lies and spread false information

How to glorify
He is adept at making himself seem greater than he really is

The lies and hide the truth
He is always hiding realities and creating a false image

He talks a lot but
He is very talkative, but doesn't say much that is meaningful

His mouth is full of empty words
His speeches are mostly meaningless rhetoric that don't convey any actual solutions or insights

He has the right friends
He surrounds himself with people who can help him get what he wants

Making shady inside deals
He is making agreements and promises that are not aboveboard or transparent

Before the story ends
The situation will eventually reach a conclusion

We will be out of tears
People will eventually become numb to the suffering and corruption around them

Fools give the answers
Those who are naive and gullible are easier to manipulate and exploit

Wise men don't even try
People who are enlightened and experienced are less likely to get involved in such dirty politics

The time has come
It is finally time to take action and bring an end to this injustice

To dethrone him but there's a new clone stepping in
Someone else is now taking up the mantle of power and they are no better than the previous person

Just more scum
The new ruler is just as corrupt and unworthy as the old one

Another greedy, rotten puppet on a string
The new leader is also being controlled by others and is not acting of their own volition

I own the seas
The old king is suggesting that he has immense power and authority

I have the Earth on its knees
He believes he has complete control over the planet

Give me another day
He is asking for more time to carry out his misdeeds

And I'll take your future away
He is making it clear that he is not interested in the well-being or future of others
