Monarch Lyrics

The monarch of silence

Condescends to speak

Foreign and familiar eyes meet through a temple haze

Surrounded by smoke

That consumes a cloud of confidence

Witness to the purity of penance



Before the bond that holds us together

No more space between death and woefully unclean



The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?

As soon as I graze you, it's over for me

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?

Afraid to embrace, if for once you could keep me safe



Afraid to embrace



Will you go away? (Restore my grace)

Will you be waiting? (I have no intention to stay)



For the first time, you met me where I stand

Wrapped me in drapes of your immortal embrace

To cover who I think I am



Tremble



All questions erased, no more space between death

And a sealed fate

A forbidden gaze, unraveled at the sound

Of the throne room shaking



All this time, I was afraid of dying alone

My first breath extended in the palm of your hand

My final belongs to you

It was yours when we began
