King's Fall - The Unguided

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
