[Verse 1]
I saw the favors turn to knives
In the hands that kissed your ring
They fed you gold with velvet lies
Then bowed down low to steal your name
Your table full, your doors unlocked
While traitors slept inside your walls
You built a throne on borrowed trust
Now hear the hammer in the halls
[Pre-Chorus]
Worship my name
Worship my name
The crowd still sings
But they changed their tune
The fire rose
Under your feet
And every oath
Came back untrue
[Chorus]
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
Now listen to the words we sing
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
[Verse 2]
The jester laughed with silver teeth
The counselor hid a paper blade
The faithful ones got sold for peace
While banners burned in the rain
You called their betrayal grace
You wore their poison like a crown
But every secret you kept close
Is dragging your false heart down
[Pre-Chorus]
Worship my name
Worship my name
The walls are loud
With what you earned
The saints look up
And turn away
Your own parade
Has set you on fire
[Chorus]
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
Now listen to the words we sing
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
[Bridge]
Tell me who will kneel for you now
When the feast is gone and the banner falls
Tell me who will guard your name
When the wolves learn the shape of your call
We were the ones you left behind
We were the ones you made to bleed
Now every mouth you tried to own
Sings like a blade in the teeth
[Final Chorus]
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
YOU DID IT ALL IN VAIN
Now listen to the words we sing
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
This is the death of a king
