Blind Monarch Lyrics

Sunrise
New dawn
Light bathes the earth once more
Frost thaws
New growth
I feel new life take hold
Sunrise, sun fall
Darkness clings to these cold walls
Nothing breathes
Nothing grows
Nothing lives
And no one knows

Lord of this place, light dare not penetrate
A blind monarch in a kingdom of despair
Reflects on hollow conquests
Sips from a poisoned chalice
Waged a battle for a shadow crown
A kingdom which never existed

The horns fell silent at my coronation
None to praise the blind monarch
Glasses empty, no words spoken
None to praise the blind monarch
Funeral inauguration
None to praise the blind monarch
Head hung heavy, wreathed in shadow
None to praise the blind monarch
Mind corrupted, frail, naked
None to praise the blind monarch

Solitary ceremony
Performed in blackness and filth
Witnessed by the worms
With bare hands I buried all I lost
And am what remains

Sunrise, sun fall
Darkness clings to these cold walls
Nothing breathes
Nothing grows
Nothing lives
And no one knows
Sunrise, sun fall
Darkness clings to these cold walls
Nothing breathes
And nothing grows
None to praise the blind monarch
