Monarch Lyrics

The monarch of silence
Condescends to speak
Foreign and familiar eyes meet through a temple haze
Surrounded by smoke
That consumes a cloud of confidence
Witness to the purity of penance

Before the bond that holds us together
No more space between death and woefully unclean

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?
As soon as I graze you, it's over for me
The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?
Afraid to embrace, if for once you could keep me safe

Afraid to embrace

Will you go away? (Restore my grace)
Will you be waiting? (I have no intention to stay)

For the first time, you met me where I stand
Wrapped me in drapes of your immortal embrace
To cover who I think I am

Tremble

All questions erased, no more space between death
And a sealed fate
A forbidden gaze, unraveled at the sound
Of the throne room shaking

All this time, I was afraid of dying alone
My first breath extended in the palm of your hand
My final belongs to you
It was yours when we began
