There was a time
So long ago
Love with every seam
Feels just like a dream

There was a time
A gentle hand
Gone for centuries
But she’s still with me

The ruined king, a feeble man
The sort to take, because he can
I had no choice but watch her fade away

Death to the king
Your love is suffocating
You can’t control everything
Bring death to the king

I sat and watched
As he consumed
Call it what you will
I call it smothering

A toxic love
She paid the price
Lifeless in his arms
Lifeless thread and yarn

Death to the king
Your love is suffocating
You can’t control everything
Bring death to the king

(I loved her deeply to the end)
But your delusion has no bounds
(You simply cannot comprehend)
That you’re a madman with a crown?
(I’d rather paint the world in black)
Your pain just can not change the facts
There is no way to bring her back
(I’ll find a way to bring her back)

The spark of life
We lost her both
So you went to war
But the blame was yours

Your time of rule
Is at an end
Time to set her free
But keep the memories

The ruined king, a feeble man
You only take because you can
I had no choice but watch her fade away

Death to the king
Your love is suffocating
You can’t control everything
Bring death to the king
