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