lyrics

Fall

Cast from the covenant
Spurned by my fickle home
Honor, devoid of weight
From on the throne

Pathways I’ve carved
Have led me past the bastion
This is the time to seize the crown
And cast this ruined kingdom
Down

Recall those who swore to the crown
Cast this ruined kingdom down

We were led astray at every turn
Burden my name as a bloodline burns
Seeking redemption, you teach me war
We linger in ashes

Shadows of crumbling spires
Are where they chose to kneel
Like those who fate has called to
I've nothing to yield

In the wake of our apostasy
All sallow masks are cast aside
Now eyes unblinded see
Bearing witness to regicide

I will erase your visage
There will be nowhere left to hide
Now burn this effigy
And sever from me
The head that wears the crown

Recall those who swore to the crown
Cast this ruined kingdom down
In the absence of all certainty
We carry on
We carry on

We were led astray at every turn
Burden my name as a bloodline burns
Seeking redemption, you teach me war
We linger in ashes

We carry on
Though you taught us war
We carry on
When we are no more

Cast away the crown
And lay our weapons down
Now our cause is done
Once he and I are one.

We were led astray at every turn
Burden my name as a bloodline burns
In seeking redemption you teach me war
We linger in ashes
