Stricken, but I will never fall There is nothing in this world I fear Forsaken, but I will never call The ones that want to see me down, forever crawling To their feet, forever begging for their noble deeds I shall never kiss this crown and there is nothing I regret I always knew this day would come Faint premonitions blend into knowledge This is the time of new departures So many fists, so many shining eyes So many voices shouting out the will to power I seek salvation in the distance, leaving the turmoil of this world And all my demons falling silent I left the lost, so very long ago As ma**es converging around their towers An apodictic certainty arose in me
That I shall wear this sign forever That I shall never kiss this crown, nothing I regret I know the apostates, I carry the truth in me As new liars invade my riven fatherland I seek salvation in the distance, leaving the turmoil of this world And all my demons falling silent I left the lost, so very long ago I see va**als face away from frantic leaders Lies of omission ensnare the changeling I see heroes decay, I hear pontiffs betray Betray their canon sermonized over ages I seek salvation in the distance, leaving the turmoil of this world And all my demons falling silent I left the lost, so very long ago
