From Scythe to Sceptre歌詞

[00:44.623] I knew you some years before
[00:48.919] Deep in prayer under bough
[00:51.255] Futile sighs in vital skin
[00:55.556] Your flesh caressed by night
[01:13.994] Yet change came quickly
[01:16.679] A bruise in the air, it staggered within
[01:21.153] Sweet sickly rot
[01:25.092] Black wound infection
[01:29.222] King, slave, child
[01:44.820] Your fates are united
[01:47.942] An unending row to the grave
[01:53.470] A single dance now, all eyes are shut
[02:00.224] Blind to the earthly
[02:13.337] Begging now to forget who I am
[02:19.657] Emperor, your sword is useless
[02:25.820] Shattered crowns so swiftly
[02:29.043] Fragile as the scythe
[02:32.390] Aching bones cling to swollen limbs
[02:38.451] Despair floods all senses
[02:41.585] The world is dying around me
[03:24.559] Gaping in mirth, his old eyes spoke
[03:30.655] Where you are now - I once was
[03:36.960] And what I am now - you soon will be
[03:43.771] Nothingness awaits you
[03:56.940] Begging now to regain what I've lost
[04:02.757] The tale of life is but a picture
[04:09.124] A flash in an abyss, a dream in the void
[05:44.146] See that there is no meaning,
[05:51.292] Understand eternal death
[06:39.482] You long now to try what you once feared
[06:45.093] But the time is gone and dust will be your legacy
