Take me down into the river.
Lay me down and let me go.
Watch me carried by the water,
So calm and slow.
You once called me King of Nothing,
But who am I to steal your crown?
Can you feel your kingdom crumbling?
'Cause it's coming down.
It's coming down like thunder,
And you will cry as you see it hit the ground.
Whatever plan you made,
Whatever game you played,
It's coming down.
It's coming down like thunder,
And you will cry as you see it hit the ground.
Whatever flag you've flown,
Whatever thing you own,
It's coming down.
Now I'm drifting with the current
From the river to the sea.
You're still standing on the shoreline
Looking out for me.
And you may pray I'm gone forever,
But I know one day I'll be found.
Your plan to get away with murder:
It's coming down.
It's coming down like thunder,
And you will cry as you see it hit the ground.
The sad defense you raise
To any god you praise,
It's coming down.
The life you thought you'd lead,
The one built you built on greed,
It's coming down.
