King's Fall

A legacy, it isn't what we say
 When we are here, it's what others say about us
 When we're gone and reunited in the timeless void
 I never even wanted this for myself
 It's just something that came with the oath we took
 To the people that we swore to protect in times of despair
 No king rules forever
 The constant burden, burden
 Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
 The night strangles the rays away
 Your heroic tales I will pass on
 Now when you are gone
 You buried the dagger in the shoulder
 That used to carry you through hell
 Winning wars for you in the past
 Never gave us anything
 Nothing's forever
 Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
 The night strangles the rays away
 Your heroic tales I will pass on
 Now when you're gone
 And in his crown, no one would ever fit
 Everyone would break beneath it
 I watch your son's troubled eyes
 As the last anthem dies
 At the edge of souls, he gave his life
 To heal the death of the prince, the king is dead
 The king is dead, long live the king
 The king is dead, long live the king
 The king is dead, long live the king
 No king rules forever
 The constant burden, burden
 Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
 The night strangles the rays away
 Your heroic tales I will pass on
 Now when you're gone
 And in his crown, no one would ever fit
 Everyone would break beneath it
 I watch your son's troubled eyes
 As the last anthem dies
