Sovereign

(album: The Bleeding Veil - 2021)

Seek refuge in the burning night
It's not awake nor dwelling in slumber
Shelter will come to those who persist
The dawn will ride the darkest horse

Where the waters run the deepest
The flames will burn the highest
Abandon the throne
And crown the sky with burden

The longest morning carries the night
I am finally here

Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I close my eyes to darken the black
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I pour my blood upon the empty throne

The day is dead
Dethroned by the night
And with the dawning in sight
I give to you

In the darkest hour before the dawn
I close my eyes

The longest morning carries the night
I'm finally here

Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I close my eyes to darken the black
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I pour my blood upon the empty throne
