With the huge wealth collected the King wore a smile And in his Kingdom vanity ruled for a while . What good is wealth and beauty if no one can see, The King needed a voyage to boast vanity . Carpenters from Bylos came and a ship was built . They loaded it with treasure right up to the hilt . Oarsmen from Sidon rowed the ship blistered of hand . An East wind from heaven wrecked the ship far from land . Sing a funeral song the good Lord said to me . For Tyre will be buried in the depths of the sea . This is my song Lord I will sing it just for you . Bitter in heart is he that wept the whole day through . Jealous of what he could not have and could not be . His Kingdom was doomed to the bottom of the sea . Where now is the beauty that he though was so great ? What happened all the treasure from the peoples gate ? How long is an eternity ? What is his fate ? Behind the walls of Hades forever to wait . There is no place left for him at the banquet feast Lament not for the King of Tyre who was a beast .
