Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Mufasa set my heart on fire
He burned away my dreams
Until I stood atop his pyre
With nothing but mere schemes

[Pre-Chorus]
Power was my heart’s desire
Revenge was my sport
Brothers are torn but lovers never die
In this darkened royal court

[Chorus]
This is the kingdom that bloomed
Where the Great Kings fell
Every legend, every lie,
Faded with Mufasa’s spell
Now this rebel prince has claimed the crown
This lioness is on a different path
The circle is crashing down
Hope dies in the aftermath

[Verse 2]
While by your side I stood my ground
When all was scorched and blackened
Now this great king has fallen down
And another has arisen

[Pre-Chorus]
Power was my heart’s desire
Revenge was my sport
Brothers are torn but lovers never die
In this darkened royal court

[Chorus]
This is the kingdom that bloomed
Where the Great Kings fell
Every legend, every lie,
Faded with Mufasa’s spell
Now this rebel prince has claimed the crown
This lioness is on a different path
The circle is crashing down
Hope dies in the aftermath

[Bridge]
Two dark souls meet in this dance
This game that leaves nothing to chance
Scar and Zira, king and queen,
United in this shadowed regime

[Final Chorus]
This is the kingdom that bloomed
Where the Great Kings fell
Every legend, every lie,
Faded with Simba’s final breath
Now this king has claimed the crown
This queen is paving a new path
The Circle of Life is crashing down
And hope now dies in the aftermath
