From Hero To Zero

He is no more an ordinary recital
The world must sing is song,
His proposal, his achievement, his tittle...
The world must yield his course
And his bossy boastful epoch.

He is no more an ordinary residence
The world must dance to his tone,
He is a lion, an elephant, a tiger...
He is a ruler that rule the rule

Now, the world must bury his corpse.

He is no more an ordinary civilian
He is a major superior authority.

Until his death that must belittle him.

He had once be a gouge by chance,
Now, he can't groan where he must dwell.

Not sure if this is referring to anyone specifically. But I do get the vibe he was a man that got too caught up in his power and wealth... not knowing he was just as mortal as everyone else. Powerful words!
