Kingdom on the Shore

Shine down on me On top of this precipit tower Shine on this land Show me the sum of my reign And this is all that I have My life my land my people I dare not look to the sun For hope has left us all Oh heaven, oh king our god (They bow to my divinity) Protect our lives (Knowing not from whence it comes) Oh worthlessness of all mankind (Their eyes turn toward the throne) Remembrance, a reverie for (They've forgotten who they are) A different time (And so have I) We pray your hand moves by design (I pray I've not failed my own kind) Stay hidden away Reclusive and distant Splayed limp on the throne All will power gone The seeds of despair Sown long ago Bears a small sour fruit It's taste still on my tongue I feel the weight on my back Within these walls I hide my face
