Original lyrics
ENFeet on the gravel dust in my lungs
Road keeps calling deaf to the drums
Eyes in the shadows watching me pass
They never knew how long I would last
No crown no throne
I claim my own
I'm the king of the quiet
I don't need the sound
Feel the ground when I'm walking
Hear the weight come down
No warning no riot
No flag to wave
I'm the king of the quiet
And I will not break
Steel in my spine fire in breath
Traded my fear shook hands with death
Lines in the dirt drawn by the weak
I cross them all I never speak
No chain no name
No one to blame
I'm the king of the quiet
I don't need the sound
Feel the ground when I'm walking
Hear the weight come down
No warning no riot
No flag to wave
I'm the king of the quiet
And I will not break
Silence is the oath I keep
Promises carved in sleep
No confession no release
Only forward never peace
King of the quiet
I'm the king of the quiet
Let the whole world shake
Every step behind me
Leaves a deeper wake
No warning no riot
No flag to wave
I'm the king of the quiet
And I will not break
No sound
Still the ground obeys
