Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
In the kingdom of comfort, on my porcelain throne,
I reached for salvation, but found myself alone.
The cardboard tube, empty, a cruel, mocking sight,
Stranded in silence, in my plight.
[Chorus]
Oh, roll of despair, you left me bare,
In the echo of an empty square.
A cry for help, into the air,
Oh, roll of despair, this isn’t fair!
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
The walls hold echoes of my desperate calls,
No savior in sight, within these four stalls.
A kingdom abandoned, my plea echoes cold,
In the silence of tiles, my story untold.
[Chorus]
Oh, roll of despair, you left me bare,
In the echo of an empty square.
A cry for help, into the air,
Oh, roll of despair, this isn’t fair!
[Screaming Guitar Solo Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I pledge allegiance to the roll, if ever it returns,
Lessons learned the hard way, the way every rocker learns.
Never again to take for granted, the paper’s tender grace,
Next time, I'll stock a fortress, in this lonely place.
[Verse 3]
I pledge allegiance to the roll, if ever it returns,
Lessons learned the hard way, the way every rocker learns.
Never again to take for granted, the paper’s tender grace,
Next time, I'll stock a fortress, in this lonely place.
[Chorus]
Oh, roll of despair, you left me bare,
In the echo of an empty square.
A cry for help, into the air,
Oh, roll of despair, this isn’t fair!
[Instrumental Transition]
[Outro]
With a battle cry, I rise, unbroken by defeat,
Armed with a new roll, my victory sweet.
No foe shall leave me stranded, no chorus left unsung,
In the halls of rock, my triumph rung!
[End]
[Triumphant Breakdown]
[Outro]
With a battle cry, I rise, unbroken by defeat,
Armed with a new roll, my victory sweet.
No foe shall leave me stranded, no chorus left unsung,
In the halls of rock, my triumph rung!
[End]
