lyrics

I have been struck
down to my knees to crawl
I have been made
to beg for my life under
Their screaming whips
sink their teeth into my flesh
I submit
My will to fight has been drained

My scepter has been split
My crown trampled to the ground
My throne a smouldering ruin

Thrust into my cell
I shiver on the cold floor
Once king, now dressed in rags
Stripped of power, I await

Called out to face the judge
Led on by tips of spears
I drag the shackles weight
In agonizing pain

Exiled from the throne of blind illusion
Banished from the court of power
Ruler to nothing but dreams

Tied to the back of a horse
Drawn to the execution
Hanged from the neck
yet left alive
Disemboweled, emasculated
Beheaded and quartered
Burnt down to ashes
Lost and forgotten

Light from the embers slowly fades
Flakes of ash fall to the ground
This death leaves no recollection
Engulfed into infinity
