RISHLOO - Romance of a Dead Kingdom lyrics

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
And 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
And whispers turn now to
Shouting for my escape awake

Brashly you stifled warnings
See now the fruit's 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

Hear me now i'm mournin' the last of love
There's no consequence to the way
I'm floatin' under the bridge
