King’s Fall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] No king rules forever Their constant burden (Burden) [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Nothing's forever [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 1] At the edge of souls He gave his life To heal the death of the prince The King is dead [Bridge 2] The King is dead Long live the King The King is dead Long live the King The King is dead Long live the King [Pre-Chorus] Nothing is forever The constant burden (Burden) [Chorus] 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 But 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
