Theme
A critique of contemporary societal issues, particularly the widespread **'epidemic of addiction'** to pills and alcohol, and the self-destructive behavior of a generation. The title, **'Kingmaker'**, is an ironic reference to a figure seeking self-satisfaction and power amidst the decay, possibly reflecting a sense of entitlement or a failed attempt to control chaos.
Lyrics
**Generation of the dark** wath their lives decay
**Persecuting their "own kind"** there's nothing you can say
Don't ask anyone for help, they don't kwnow what to do
If you try, if you don't die, you'll end up **black and blue**
**Epidemic of addiction**, worshipping the **pill**
Srown them all with **alcohol**, anything for **trills**
**Precious life goes up in smoke**, going nowhere fast
The **world is eunning rampant** and you know that this can't last
[CHORUS]
I want **everything that makes me fell alright**
That **feels alive**, don't ask me why
I want **everything**, right before my eyes
I cant deny, I want to be the **king**
**Kingmaker**
Searching for an **answer**, but you see you're all alone
Mom and Daddy's light are on but **nobody's home**
They **glorify their tourtured life**; they talk of days like this
**Centencing their children**, when they need to **eat a fist**
**Narcotics have enslaved them**; now it's coming after you
**Pearls of wisdom hit the floor**, there's nothing you can do
**Out fo control**, you **sell your soul**, so blind, you couldn't see
**Ten feet tall**, it made you **crawl**, it's better you than me
[CHORUS]
I want **everything that makes me fell alright**
That **feels alive**, don't ask me why
I want **everything**, right before my eyes
I cant deny, I want to be the **king**
**Kingmaker**
SOLO
I want **everything that makes me fell alright**
That **feels alive**, don't ask me why
I want **everything**, right before my eyes
I cant deny, I want to be the **king**
It **makes me feel alive**, I want **everything**
It **makes me feel alive**, I want **everything**
The **things I can't deny**, I want **everything**
**I WANT TO BE THE KING!**
