A dusk in shadows, a palace in pain
A king without crown and a queen in shame
A sceptre destroyed among a throne maimed
A jester's court raptured in flames

A shallow moor in fog silhouette
A castle of souls breathes haunted breath
A path of blood royal upon ancient steps
A noble birth wrought forgotten death

A shadow of dust atop earth and stone
A fallen angel without heaven or home
A sombre praise borne by no one
A gallant virtue among clouds without sun

A dusk in shadows, a fortune of fame
A monarch of lust, forever erased
A rapture in twilight, a cold northern blaze
A solicitude of death unknown in disgrace
