I am the king of nothing

The emperor of emptiness

I don't have a castle

And I don't wear a crown

I recall as a small child

The dreams that I once had

Yes, I recall as a small boy

Those dreams which drove me mad

'Cause I once found myself a Kingdom

It was not too far away

I once found myself a Kingdom

But somehow I let it slip away

So I am the king of nothing

The emperor of emptiness

And I don't have a castle

And I don't have a crown

And I recall as a small child

Those dreams I once had

I recall as a small boy

Those dreams which drove me mad

I once found myself a Kingdom

And I thought that it was here to stay

Yes, I once found myself a Kingdom

But somehow I let it slip away

So I am the king of nothing

The emperor of emptiness

And I don't have a castle

And I don't wear a crown
