Power Is Strange
The Doors sung that right, people are strange... just know this: power ain’t in the throne, it’s in the truth.
Power is strange when thrones are fakes, / When crowns turn tight around our necks
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Power is strange when it shifts too fast, Liars act grand, but old farts don’t last. Gold shall gleam, then tarnish with time, True kings climb dreams that make us shine. [Chorus] Power is strange when thrones are fakes, When crowns turn tight around our necks Hands holding tight, losing grips, surreal, But truth shall stand and make ’em kneel. [Verse 2] Rulers wanna reign, but names fade fast, Walls built high, lies meant to last. Smoke of schemes, fires burn far, Lies die slow so far below the stars. [Chorus] Power is strange when thrones are fakes, When crowns turn tight around our necks Hands holding tight, losing grips, surreal, But truth shall stand and make ’em kneel. [Verse 3] Steel might shine, but it bends with time, Gold won’t glow when it hides in grime. Fame feels firm, but it fades too soon, Every false king meets the same old doom. [Final chorus] Power is strange when thrones are fakes, When crowns turn tight around our necks Hands holding tight, losing grips, surreal, But truth shall stand and make ’em kneel. [Outro] Power ain’t in the throne, it’s in the truth.
