Lyrics for Opera Fanatica

Gather close my friends - Attend to my confusion These thoughts till now have been too far for you to reach Gather close to me - My students of delusion Listen carefully to what I have to teach So finally, you will walk with me - As an equal in the heart of my prophecies No struggle now, and no falling down - No hiding from the attitudes and jealousies The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship me! Then hand in hand, we will make that stand I was once myself, but now I am another man There's a sense of urgency - Flawed invisibility The negative converge - feel the synchronicity A union of consequence beyond this lost adversary The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship me! There's nothing more to fear - A question of a few degrees From sane to maniac - We're feathers on a dying breeze You trust your life to float - Across the gentle ebb and flow And on the random whims - A God that no one really knows The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship... There's nothing more to fear - A question of a few degrees From care to negligence - In freedom or captivity Perhaps there is a place - Far outside these prison walls Where I may live your life - A cleaner slate, a stronger cause The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship me! So I exist in this fragile equilibrium Which glues the substance of the universe to me The stars they're falling down, drawn to me in millions Only I can set them free... set them free Set them free! Only I can set them free! You try to live without me by your side You try to live without me now but I will always be there, just a single breath away And I will always be there – I will share your fate again The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship me! The King is dead, so worship me - No voices in my head, so worship me!
