Artist: Kamelot Album: Karma (2001) Title: Karma
Lyrics KarmaI am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
Have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life
And here I stand
a small and simple man
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'cause all you do in life comes back to you
I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain
And now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'cause all you do in life comes back to you
Am I mad
I feel so void and cold
Who can tell
who holds the stories untold
Tired and trembling
I am descending
Will I have to stay here
and live this life again
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'cause all you do in life comes back to you |
