lyrics

Swim through this existence with me
Or find something or someone who won't leave you to drown
Either way I'll make sure to follow
As we get swallowed by the oceans of tomorrow

Painful but rewarding
Face the past or lose the future

I lay here with my crown of thorns
King in the empire of the fallen
Entities, imperfectly aligned
May fate be benevolent

Moonlight shine and wash away my sins
Nightfall come bless the curse I've been

The hourglass signals
The finality of our time together
In Nightfall it has no end and no beginning
The dream dies when I awake

Your words cut through me like scissors
Only the memories remain
My words desire your dark arts
May they not be written in vain

For our union must taste the end
Only to be reborn again, in my heart
Two moons and the hollow sun compelled
To bring forth our union again

I remember
Sacred words to sacrifice a child
Watched him pour his heart out to no avail
Principles given as excuses
Applied only when good times await you at the end

How we used to be
The way you made me feel
The fire inside of me
Majestic intentions
You kept me in your grip
Now your soul is far away and mine you'll never see

I rule the world with a crown of thorns
King in the empire of the fallen
Entities, imperfectly aligned
May fate be benevolent

In Nightfall it has no end
The dream dies when I awake

For our union must taste the end
Only to be reborn again, in my heart
Two moons and the hollow sun compelled
To bring forth our union again
