THE WALKING DEAD ORCHESTRA lyrics : "Entombment of a Monarch"

I've been sitting on this throne
For too long now.
I've seen

The flames falling
Yes falling from the sky,
Incinerating the values that we used to share


Oh-These promises,
Those promises which were our vows,

Became lies then turned into ashes.
Watching humankind,
Forsaking me.

I've felt the treachery set in,
And been deeply rooted in their flesh.
I've seen the foolishness

Formed in their
Wasted mind.


I've watched the first born bludgeon,
To death,
The youngest betting on,

The death of his,
Progenitors to be covered in gold


I have turned
My eyes toward
These idols of our forerunners.

I've begged them
To answer me :
« Where has my path diverged from yours ? »


What have I done ?
To mislead them like this

What have I done ?
To mislead them, I have no idea but


I $#&@ed everything around me
Everything is
$#&@ing wasted


Everything is $#&@ing wasted
Oh.


And now I feel the shadow of these atrocities
Invading the throne area

Once bathed in light
Their cold and dead hands caught my throat
Whispering to my ears

« Your reign is $#&@ing over »

I've been sitting on this throne

For too long now.
I've seen
The flames falling

Yes falling from the sky,
Incinerating the values that we used to share


Oh-These promises,
Those promises which were our vows,
Became lies then turned into ashes.

Watching humankind,
Forsaking me.
« Your reign's $#&@ing over now

This (is) the entombment of a monarch
And Empathy will die with you
And Hope will die with you
