A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown

Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
There is an ending to my reign
That I have lived my life in vain

The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
Tired, trembling, I am descending
Will I have to stay here and live this life again
I know I've torn and taken life
A sacrificial rite to render truth
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
And here I stand a small and simple man
Who can tell, who holds the stories untold?
I am a king in crisis counting minutes

A sacrificial rite to render truth
Who will trade his karma for my kingdom?
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom

Am I mad? I feel so void and cold
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
My sins have come to face me, I can feel it
Have I been just and righteous, what is glory?
