Last Dance of a Dying King
Wolfpack Unleashed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pompous parade of decadence, acclaimed by the plebs
And he who smiles, who cheers the most
Is the ruler himself of fields so green and seas so wide
His glory still shines bright
Beware of those close
Watch out -- betrayal grows
Another empire turns to dust
As an old wound opens again
The actor's new, the pain sol old
This is the last dance of a dying king
The king must face his destiny -- even he must bow
This treatment has been planned by long -- the time is now
And now he feels the burning knife driven in his back
He sees the face now of his wife grinning in delight
Another empire turns to dust -- as history repeats itself
The actor's new, the pain sol old
This is the last dance of a dying king
Dance... Fall... W***e
And so his love dethroned the king
The king is dead she killed the king
The lyrics of "Last Dance of a Dying King" by Wolfpack Unleashed depict the downfall of a monarch who had once been celebrated for his reign. The opening lines celebrate the king's past greatness, acknowledging his "royal tenderness" and the "golden age" he presided over. However, the following lyrics suggest that the king's glory is fading, as the ostentatious displays of his "pompous parade of decadence" are now only being applauded by the common people, rather than by those closest to him. The lyrics warn that there are those who are plotting against the king, and that "betrayal grows" within his circle.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the king is soon to be overthrown. The chorus repeats the phrase "another empire turns to dust," indicating that this type of political upheaval is not new. The final verse states that the king's overthrow has been in the works for a long time, and that even his wife has played a role in bringing about his downfall. The last line is a simple, brutal statement: "The king is dead, she killed the king."
Overall, the lyrics of "Last Dance of a Dying King" touch on the themes of power, glory, and betrayal. They suggest that those in power are always vulnerable to being overthrown, and that even those closest to a king may be secretly plotting against him. The song paints a picture of a world in which political power is constantly shifting, where the "last dance" of any given king may be closer than he realizes.
