🎙️ LYRICS:
King Alaric stood on the castle wall
He looked at the peasants, so weak and so small
He said "Build me a tower, go pierce through the sky,
I am greater than gods, and I never shall die."

Oh, the higher you climb, the harder you fall
The King of the ashes, the lord of it all!
He shouted at thunder, he laughed at the rain
Now nothing but silence and ruin remain!

The stones were lifted by sweat and by bone
He sat like a giant on his diamond throne
"No god is above me!" he screamed at the sun
"My reign is eternal, it’s only begun!"

Oh, the higher you climb, the harder you fall
The King of the ashes, the lord of it all!
He shouted at thunder, he laughed at the rain
Now nothing but silence and ruin remain!

But the sky turned to black and the wind started howling
The clouds like a beast were circling and prowling
A bolt of white lightning struck down on the glass
And the tower did shatter like dry summer grass.

Oh, the higher you climb, the harder you fall
The King of the ashes, the lord of it all!
He shouted at thunder, he laughed at the rain
Now nothing but silence and ruin remain!

Now the King is a beggar, he sleeps in the dirt
With a crown made of thorns and a ragged old shirt
He tells all the children who play near the stone:
"Beware of the pride that rots in the bone."

Oh, the higher you climb, the harder you fall
The King of the ashes, the lord of it all!
He shouted at thunder, he laughed at the rain
Now nothing but silence and ruin remain!
