lyrics

I was a king; I’ll have you know
My subjects cowered at my might
At my command, an endless host
And no one dared oppose my right
My tangled web of lies fell
For one day my docile peasants rose
My rotting empire’s death knell
Salted the earth for the pain I bestowed

Who will face me
Who will brave my roar
What force will assemble
And sound the horns
I know what I am, what I’ve done
I know I make you want to run
If only someone would lend an ear
To share my pain before I disappear

Do you know
Do you know what it is
To be alone
When everybody’s gone
Do you see
Do you see this field of snow
For this fucking wasteland
There’s no one to blame
But me

I can’t trust my senses
Nothing is real
No more can I hide
From this blackness I feel
I can’t trust my senses
This nightmare is real
Depraved realm of silence
The joy that I steal

(Waiting for so long)
Bow down to me
Grovel at my feet
(For the light to take me)
Fall on your knees
Praise my majesty

Rat king, I am – I can’t change
Kindred, arise – Seal my fate
Never forgive
Never forget

There’s a place in the north
There’s a place where the land runs red
On those bright shores
There’s a place for the souls now dead
There’s a place in the sky
There’s a place in the ancient lore
Hear the Valkyries cry
As I stand at the door

(Fuck you)
You made me this way
Child of darkness, beast of the slain
I am the monster, you are to blame
Product of silence, there’s no restraint
No more happy endings, for villains only pain

Take me back to those halcyon days
Take me back ere I drove you away

No one stands with me
All that I can see
The wasteland of my home
I’ll never be free
And as my heart bleeds
Into the skies I go
