Nightcore - The King - (Lyrics)

Lyrics (Also included in the video):
There was a king
Living carefree
He wanted the world he wanted everything
He ruled with a fist
His people were starved
He watched as they begged behind his castle guards
Diamonds and pearls
Emeralds and gold
He bathed in the riches only he could know
But with time came age
His health in decline
The fate of his legacy left to the tides
So he ran to his queen and demanded a child
Planted his seed then he cast her aside
Several moons later she bore him a son
But died just to give him his own flesh and blood
Ooh
Ooh
The son grew like weeds
He soon was eighteen
He ventured outside of the castle to see
The faces so gaunt
The dead in the streets
They cried out for help but nobody could hear
Deep down inside him something had stirred
He laughed at the ruins his father incurred
Fire in his veins he stormed back to the throne
Stared down the king with a rage still unknown
Ooh
The father decreed
The new rule of law
His son to be banished outside of the walls
But the son had a plan
And his heart was convinced
There’d never be room for both king and a prince
He rallied the people and charged through the gates
Shield in one hand but the other a blade
With one fell swoop his own father deposed
He sat on the throne and adorned his new crown
Ooh
The son was elated
The kingdom was his
Diamonds and emeralds and gold-plated bliss
But what of the people
The legends don’t say
Just like a memory
They faded away
There was a king
Living carefree
He wanted the world he wanted everything

[@AVA-ee4pk]

I love how it repeats when a new king comes into power

[@fandujapon]

The song is actually the proof that greediness, money and power can transform anyone into a bad person, making them forget about their own principles and goals. That's so sad. Update : I didn't say much and one month later there's a whole conversation going on under my comment about "survival instincts" LMAO. That was fun to read, thanks! XD

[@diveblock2058]

It's not proof of anything....

[@Theorist_Sweet_Bean]

If anything it is a warning of how power can corrupt

[@diveblock2058]

@@Theorist_Sweet_Bean it's not corruption more then basic survival instincts

[@Theorist_Sweet_Bean]

Yeah I know that but it's the fame, wealth, and power that is the cause of it so then is it really survival instincts

[@diveblock2058]

@@Theorist_Sweet_Bean no its the survival instincts which are the reason not the power and fame ect

[@sanslovia2696]

It’s not a song It’s literally a story Another job amazingly done!

[@takatacheroki2624]

Also, potentially a story trapped within a cyclical timeline

[@gabrielandreassen5761]

Songs that narrate a story are typically called ballads if I'm not incorrect.

[@indoraptor236]

I just realised that the different colours of the son's eyes in the video artwork could represent the son's different natures: His blue eye represents his caring nature and how he wanted to overthrow the king to better the people His red eye represents his nature similar to his father, a greedy uncaring tyrant

the moral of the story power can corrupt easily & if you're not careful you can/will become what you despise in the words of an uncle everyone knows "With great power, comes great responsibility."

This is not prefect but(better if you sing it like that song every new line is supposed to be a quick break in talking) The people forgotten Cast away for their Battle they were rewarded Not with gold, silver or change But with a new iron fist For their battle brought not a change But a new king no different than the rest And so the peoples fight was for not and forgotten only to repeated again someday

ayo its the evil prince

[@Kaiser_von_Europa]

To say that the monarchy is a corrupt system is very biased. Corruption happens cuz of two things that people greed for and that's money and power and a monarchs already have these things since the day they were born and die. Also when the people called thier monarch is being a "bad ruler" it's not because they are corrupt, it's because their negligence but people think their negligence as corruption in the government and almost all the blame of country's mistakes is directed to the monarch and not the ministers even when the monarch didn't even make a decision in it. Republic are more corrupt than a monarchy cuz the person who is supposed to lead his "country" to prosperity always negligent it because they don't know what or how to run a country and just became one for lavish lifestyle of being the president of the country, spending all of the national funds on personal things and left all the problems to the next elected leader. Not to mention the rigged/corrupt election for the presidency and you have to pay more taxes for an autocratic republic. Unlike monarchy where you have a person who was born to be school and bred for the position to govern the country since day one with the constitution, this person knows the situation of the country, the politic, economics and etc and as the quote goes "the greatest slave of the kingdom. Is generally the king of it". Plus abolishing the monarchy would make the government loses more money than earn with same tax that they used when the monarchy was around cuz in example the british monarch gives up most of their earnings from their crown estates that totals around 200 million pounds annually to the government for a fixed salary around 1 million or less and the average British citizens pay 4.75 pound per year for them total amount from all citizens would be 100 million for the royal family. And the government spendings cost around 0.5% or 1% to maintain the monarchy, the equivalent to build or maintain all roads in the country. And to say that monarchy is undemocratic is biased and anti monarchist statement, during the aftermath of the Napoleonic war and revolutions of 1848/1849. Monarchy are more democratic than autocratic republics cuz people tend to think that democracy equals to republic but in reality that isn't true, republic are for the people and democracies are for the majority of the people and therefore democracy are not the opposite of monarchy, it is the republic that's the opposite of monarchy, not democracy. Also sorry about a monarchist like me rambling about monarchy. Is just the part of the song where he said "living carefree. He wanted the world, he wanted everything" got me triggered about my respect for the monarchy. First of all, what made the king wanted to have everything in the world, when he already have everything as monarch. Second, why didn't the people became radicals and staged a revolution like the french and chopped his head by the guillotine like king Louis XVI if this has been going on for so long and not to mention the soldiers would sympathize with people and fight with them because I'm not sure if you know this or not but they have this thing called "family" fathers, brothers, sons, grandsons, what makes you think that they blindly obey orders like a machine or a slave. The proper way for this song to have end is the king executed for negligence and started a republic with the royal family either exile or die with him or his wife aka the queen takes the throne and governs the kingdom and make sure that her children does not become like their tyrannical father.
