Behind the Throne

Lyrics

[Intro]
They say the head that wears the crown is heavy
But the real seat of power's always steady

[Verse 1]
It's a study in form, a perfect design
A fundamental truth, so purely divine
Got its own center of gravity, a silent decree
Turns heads on the street from here to 225 Piccadilly
Some call it an asset, a blue-chip affair
I call it the reason for the plot twist in the air

[Chorus]
It's the power right behind the throne
A little kingdom all its own
Doesn't need to speak to make its meaning known
It's the power right behind the throne
It can sway a nation with a subtle sway
Rewrites history at the close of day
Yeah, the world can turn, but it holds its own
The quiet power right behind the throne

[Verse 2]
Forget the speeches, and the state's grand seal
This is the influence that's truly real
A perfect persuasion, a curve in the law
Leaving all the academics breathless and in awe
It's a closing argument, the final appeal
A treasure that the finest gloved hands want to steal

[Chorus]
It's the power right behind the throne
A little kingdom all its own
Doesn't need to speak to make its meaning known
It's the power right behind the throne
It can sway a nation with a subtle sway
Rewrites history at the close of day
Yeah, the world can turn, but it holds its own
The quiet power right behind the throne

[Bridge]
You can follow the procession, you can watch the parade
You can study the legacy that's being made
But the policy's decided long before you see the face
It’s all about the balance, the rhythm, and the space

[Chorus]
It's the power right behind the throne
A little kingdom all its own
Doesn't need to speak to make its meaning known
It's the power right behind the throne
It can sway a nation with a subtle sway
Rewrites history at the close of day
Yeah, the world can turn, but it holds its own
The quiet power right behind the throne

[Outro]
Right behind the throne
Yeah, all on its own
Watch it now...
Just let the story unfold...
