Lyrics You Were the King, Now You're Unconscious - Atreyu

You Were the King, Now You're Unconscious

There is no light in sight
Only a tunnel of pain
Only your legs will carry you
Carry you to the end
Live your life for yourself
Or live for the struggle at best
Just don’t let it strangle you
Just don’t let it strangle you
And after all this
No one will carry you home
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it’s gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
The thick of the battle
A metaphor for this life
You never see it hit you
Until it smashes you in the face
You try as best as you can
And I knock you down again
Just don’t let it strangle you
Just don’t let it strangle you
And after all this
No one will carry you home
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it’s gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
Get up
Get up now
Get up right now
I scream to myself
Get up
Get up now
Get up right now
I scream at myself
And after all this
No one will carry you home
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it’s gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
Try to savor it for one more song
