stolen from his castle and bound with silver chains
he was dragged away by horses with the Savior at the reigns
he was matchless in his time, but as a star he had to fall
his dreams of darkness shattered by his prison walls

and the rain came pouring down
and it rusts his golden crown
and his soul begins to drown
and the rain keeps falling down

what he wanted had been simple; his vision was quite clear
he needed nothing less than everything, and the time was drawing near
but they could not understand that he had to be fulfilled
they saw a man that must be broken and a dream that must be killed

the judgement was upon him, but he could not suppress his greed
his phony tears did nothing but plant a harsher seed
all he needed was a berth to get the power that he craved
so he was exiled to earth, and the earth would be his grave

and now i see him here, and then i see him there
he leaves a trail of pain and a hate he loves to share
so wistfully he looks to the King he once had served
so ruefully he looks to the fate that he deserved
