he was the leader of a small gang   Commiting crimes each day   But time has changed where he was proud   It's a far away       He took living easy, his bad reputation   Oh it was known all around   But he didn't care no, he made dirty money   Now he is down and out       Thought he knew the tricks of life   Prowling in the dark   Now he's left by all his friends   'Cause he lived apart, of them   He was a leader, malicious and violent   His fame is covered with blood   Now he's just a number, he lost all his power   The king has lost his face       Down down down, though the king lost his crown   Caught and sentenced, he was guilty   Down down down, though the king lost his crown   It's too late - far too high   Late far too high
