The Ruler Has Died

The brick wall you have built has crumpled to the ground
the armor you came with is now no where to be found
your people left you standing in the mess that they have made
and no one is brave enough to admit that they are afraid
the beast inside you feeds on the pain of those all around
and the angels sent from heaven rather not be found
the children's laughter has subsided and the mothers cry has grown
most people are relived that those children aren't their own
your kingdom has collapsed and what are you left with now
the heart of a use-to-be and a sorrowful looking frown
