A crown of dust on my weary head
Empty halls where my footsteps tread
No voices echo
No laughter to find
Just the ticking clock
And a fading mind

I am the lonely king
No queen to hold
No warmth to chase away the cold
No throne to share
No love to bring
Just me and my shadow—I am the lonely king

Walls of stone
They feel so thin
The silence howls
It creeps within
I built an empire
But lost the game
Now only ghosts remember my name

Where’s the light
Where’s the fire
Where’s the kiss
Where’s desire

I am the lonely king
No queen to hold
No warmth to chase away the cold
No throne to share
No love to bring
Just me and my shadow—I am the lonely king

I called to the heavens
They gave me rain
I begged for mercy
They sent me pain
No higher power to lift me above
Just a crown without love
A crown without love

Lonely King


Velvet night, camera flash,
She moves through rooms of gold and glass.
Diamond smile, champagne eyes,
Whispers follow where she lies.

Beautiful socialite,
Dressed in sin, bathed in light.
Beautiful socialite,
Melbourne dreams in black and white.

Footy boys and fashion kings,
She’s the ghost of brighter things.
High heels click, designer flame,
No one ever learns her name.

Racecourse roses, lips of lies,
Silver skies, where silence buys.
Perfume, pleasure, empty throne,
She’s never seen alone.
Hearts dissolve into the night. Oh baby, oh oh oh, my baby, oh oh!

Beautiful socialite,
Mirror love, fading sight.
Beautiful socialite,
Hearts dissolve into the night. Oh baby, oh oh oh, my baby, oh oh!
