King's Fall

(album: And The Battle Royale - 2017)

A legacy, it isn't what we say when we are here
It's what others (will) say about us
When we're gone and reunited in the timeless void
I never even wanted this for myself
It's just something that came with the oath we took
To the people that we swore to protect in times of despair

No king rules forever
Their constant burden

Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pass on
Now when you are gone

You buried the dagger in the shoulder
That used to carry you through hell
Winning wars for you in the past
Never gave us anything

Nothing's forever

Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pass on
Now when you're gone
And in his crown, no one would ever fit
Everyone would break beneath it
I watch your son's troubled eyes
As the last anthem dies

At the edge of souls
He gave his life
To heal the death of the prince
The king is dead

The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

Nothing is forever
The constant burden

Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pass on
Now when you're gone
And in his crown, no one would ever fit
Everyone would break beneath it
I watch your son's troubled eyes
As the last anthem dies
