A legacy, it isn’t what we say when we are here
It’s what others (will) say about us
When we’re gone and reunited in the timeless void
I never even wanted this for myself
It’s just something that came with the oath we took
To the people that we swore to protect in times of despair
No king rules forever
Their constant burden
Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pa** on
Now when you are gone
You buried the dagger in the shoulder
That used to carry you through hell
Winning wars for you in the past
Never gave us anything
Nothing’s forever
Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pa** on
Now when you’re gone
And in his crown, no one would ever fit
Everyone would break beneath it
I watch your son’s troubled eyes
As the last anthem dies
At the edge of souls
He gave his life
To heal the d**h of the prince
The king is dead
The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king
Nothing is forever
The constant burden
Even the sun cannot light up this dark day
The night strangles the rays away
(But) your heroic tales I will pa** on
Now when you’re gone
And in his crown, no one would ever fit
Everyone would break beneath it
I watch your son’s troubled eyes
As the last anthem dies
