Now as you have claimed the throne
power and glory you own
future seems grasped in your hands
everything on you depends
Woe to you!
pride's on the way to your mind
sad still true
heart is what dies behind
Bright days of glory
may turn to shame
bright days of glory
no one's recalling your name
though you might stand tall
there is no rise without fall
Now when you're so strong and bold
no matter what we've been told
mirror is blinding your eyes
you have no ears for the cries
Woe to you!
pride's on the way to your mind
sad still true
heart is what dies behind
Bright days of glory
may turn to shame
bright days of glory
no one's recalling your name
though you might stand tall
there is no rise without fall
Bright days of glory
may turn to shame
bright days of glory
no one's recalling your name
though you might stand tall
there is no rise without fall
