It was Death apparently that shook my hand in this distress
I was torned, when he bestowed to me his heritage
I became a Sovereign, the smoothly darkened melody of rain
I became the lighting gale, the morning rite, the silent storm
That threatens all mankind
I am a shame, the nightmares that remain
You see Oblivion has covered her scars, while searching for guidance
A man has secretly bled on his son
You could then hear the groan of the night, while he was crying in vain
A fair trial baptized in blood
(I was obliged to obey, and to declare my decay)
Indignity will unfurl, as my words I speak
The memories that thrived upon me, sewed my scars with silk
Scars that opened by my shame, shame that reigned on my name
You see I am no King
But Darkness bowed
In My Wake
