KINGDOM OF CARDS // LYRICS

Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn’t change
Writing songs instead of letters because I’m too afraid
Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same

I made my way through hell again, I paid for my mistakes
Next time I think I’ll stay awhile and pour myself a drink
When I return, I’ll look for you, so listen for your name
If you can make it out above the roaring of the flames

If it’s the mask you want, then it’s the mask that you will get
But when I take it off remember that you asked for this
I tore myself apart to give you all that I could give
Don’t think that I will let it go
Don’t think that I’ll forget

I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame
I didn’t know I’d lose all my loved ones in exchange
Left them all behind and yeah for that I am ashamed
But that’s the price I’m paying ‘til I’m buried in my grave

I’ll do it all over again from the start
And this time you’re not leaving me in the dark
You took me for granted now look where you are
Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards

This song is criminally underrated. The chorus with the choir is one of the best I've heard in recent years, it fits damn well and is so powerful and unique in itself.

[jeremywiggins]

"If its the mask you want, then its the mask youll get. But when i take it off, remember that you asked for this" hits different.

[saltedlpstick]

It’s heartbreaking that Noah & the guys don’t really like their older music because this is a masterpiece 😍

[kadzia]

This song is extraordinary.
When I close my eyes I feel like I was in a different place...

[juevexman]

Sounds like something you’d hear in the old west, a Viking village, and a pirate ship

[Nex_Omne]

Tbh this is the best song on the album next to Dethrone. Both showcase how diverse Bad Omens can be with their music

[gagaloverk]

If there's one trend I hope other rock bands take from this is the orchestra/choir, something about them makes the music even bigger and epic

[olan]

Somebody: Guys it's impossible to make a song that could be in Witcher, Death Stranding, Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim.


BAD OMENS: No.

[jgallo]

When i die, i want this on the credits scene of my life

[Seriksy]

You know that feeling when you come across a band you love and can't stop listening to them? I'm there now

[harinchevanat]

I really love this song. It makes me feel like I'm a warrior.

[khiemho]

Noah is a tenor but he tried to sing in baritone range to sound like a warrior and he absolutely nailed it 💪🤘🏽

[elxr]

the most underrated bad omens song, wish they would perform it live and wouldve made a music video for it

[kjb]

I’m a recent bad omens fan and coming from Burning Out, The worst in me, Nowhere to go, and The death of peace of mind this song is a complete 180. I’m officially hooked.

[kathykay]

WOW!!! I'm just hearing this now in 2024. Absolutely AMAZING!!! 🖤

[lunalightpurplebutterfly]

This should be a soundtrack of a movie❤️

[ImranSahir]

I am convinced after listening the album twice that this is the best song on the record. It reminds me of something that I can't exactly pinpoint in my memories but it sounds very familiar and evokes an irresistible urge of some kind.

[wolfyvioleta]

i only found Bad Omens last year, but JUST decided to listen to their old shit. This song gave me so much dopamine and hella chills. Instant save. They just keep on surprising me man! I hope to see them in concert one day.

[maskedwaste]

This song is what started my love for Bad Omens. Flawless.

[tinmanager]

It would be nothing short of criminal if these guys don't record a live version with a backing orchestra and choir.
