Shadows of Hubris

[Verse 1] In the kingdom of shadows, where the night reigns supreme, The tyrant stands tall, in his delusional dream. With a crown of thorns and eyes of obsidian, He prowls the land, his arrogance a deadly sin. [Pre-Chorus] His words drip like poison, his smile a twisted leer, In his twisted mind, he holds nothing dear. He'll conquer the world with his deceitful art, But little does he know, it's tearing him apart. [Chorus] He's the master of deception, a puppeteer of lies, In his quest for dominance he'll make you despise. None can match his cruelty or his ruthless might, But his kingdom of shadows crumbles in the light. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] With legions of followers, he spreads his dark reign, But beneath the facade, he's consumed by pain. For behind his facade of power and pride, Lies a tortured soul, desperate to hide. [Pre-Chorus] He'll crush his foes with a sadistic grin, But deep down, he's drowning in sin. He'll build his empire on treachery and fear, But in the end, it's his downfall near. [Chorus] He's the master of deception, a king of despair, In his quest for supremacy, he's unaware. None could challenge him or stand in his way, But his hubris will lead to his dismay. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge 1] As the walls of his kingdom start to crumble down, He's left alone, wearing his crown. For in his relentless pursuit of power and pride, He forgot the truth and the cost of his stride. [Chorus] He was the master of deception, now a broken king, In his thirst for greatness, he lost everything. None could rival him, or curb his desire, But his pride consumed him in the fire. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge 2] In the ruins of his empire, he meets his fate, A shattered soul, consumed by hate. For in the silence of his defeat, he finally sees, The folly of his ways, the end of his decrees. [Chorus] He was the master of deception, now humbled and meek, In his quest for power, he reached his peak. None could save him from his own demise, For in the end, it's humility that flies. [Outro] Now he fades into history, a cautionary tale, Of how even the mightiest can fail. For in the grand tapestry of life, one truth prevails, That pride comes before the fall, and in the end, justice prevails. [Outro] Now he fades into history, a cautionary tale, Of how even the mightiest can fail. For in the grand tapestry of life, one truth prevails, That pride comes before the fall, and in the end, justice prevails.
