As you walk the world that you once ruled Your unwrinkled face – it has you fooled The new sun makes your shadow hard to find Sword in hand, but always one step behind Intruding memories that have no origin in thought The skills that you possess have never been taught Flowers blooming on fields of dying earth Do you realize what the life you took was worth Freedom one layer deep, like your heartbeat when you sleep The movement of the hand, in time, the mind will have to reap By the blood of the beast, and a book bound in flesh This path is all you want – back to the throne – to escape again! Freedom one layer deep, like your heartbeat when you sleep The movement of the hand, in time, the mind will have to reap By the blood of the beast, and a book bound in flesh This path is all you want – back to the throne – to escape again! Friendly faces, enemies from the past The sands are shifting, shifting away
