All you have said is still in my ears You must have thought you're infallible Oh no oh no You're not gonna say that much anymore Welcome to my peculiar dream Fact is that I'm here I'm the master of reality Hard to see? But it's real and you will read me So many ways to go Before we're sanctified Few will be chosen ones Until we fade and die Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear I know that pride's before the fall How can I fall if there's none left at all Tell me tell me How far can one fall from down below? It's either time or ev'ryone round To show us what or who might be exchangable Disposable In the game of life we're playing Close to eternity I spread my wings and fly Like from a distant age I rule and you obey Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear Close to eternity I spread my wings and fly Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear Kings will be kings Kings will be kings Kings will be kings
