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
