Romance Of A Dead Kingdom Lyrics - Rishloo

Sleep now 

Fragile 

Cradle my hope 

Dream 'til morning 

Rising again 

To uphold my claims to power 

Promises bind 

This place to me 

Peace I have found 

In a vision pure and simple 

Here in this world 

I am the king 

Dreams trouble my conscience 

With thoughts of those betrayed 

Prophecies certain 

Bring me to conflict often 

But comfort has always triumphed 

Against a change 

Walking again 

Among these familiar faces 

Hearing the same 

Praises they speak 

All here is well 

But somehow so unnerving 

In the eyes of a child 

The world looks bleak 

Fears grow ever bolder 

Threatening disgrace 

All that will be 

Grows clearer with every moment 

Whispers turn now to shouting for my escape 

Awake 

Brashly you stifled warnings 

See now the fruits of failure 

Ignorant liar 

Did you truly think 

You could stay here awhile 

And avoid your fate 

Crawling, grasping, searching, reaching for a path 

Through all this chaos choking on the ashes 

Of a life that suddenly has passed 

And as the screams subside 

I slowly raise my head 

To watch the final ruin 

And see my kingdom's end
