So who’s left standing?
Failed icons feeble and abandoned
Deities that stood so tall
No longer looking down of us all
Such a fall from grace
Now lying in ruin
Completely disgraced
Count your blessings you lasted this long
It's a bitter sweet swan song
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace
No apologies
No second chances
Damage is done now serve your sentence
The signs were there
But we buried our heads
Hard to ignore but harder to reject
So hang your head in shame
You're fading
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we could never protect
What will become of those broken memories?
You shattered the hearts of oh so many
Who is the face that awaits in the mirror?
Do you cower in despair?
If my heroes aren’t dead already
Then the rest are dead to me
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace
Heavy lies the crown
Failed icons feeble and abandoned
Deities that stood so tall
No longer looking down of us all
Such a fall from grace
Now lying in ruin
Completely disgraced
Count your blessings you lasted this long
It's a bitter sweet swan song
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace
No apologies
No second chances
Damage is done now serve your sentence
The signs were there
But we buried our heads
Hard to ignore but harder to reject
So hang your head in shame
You're fading
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we could never protect
What will become of those broken memories?
You shattered the hearts of oh so many
Who is the face that awaits in the mirror?
Do you cower in despair?
If my heroes aren’t dead already
Then the rest are dead to me
Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you’ll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace
Heavy lies the crown

I think this has to with people in positions of power/ leadership who fail in their promises & can't live up to their expectations. They want to be at the top, holding all the cards & pulling all the strings but they really have no business being in that role. They end becoming a laughing stock, a fraud & lame duck essentially.
