Lyric

I am the king of men—

Saved by your song, and undone by it

If that is my sin

Then let my hands be bathed in blood

The wind whispers:

“There is no return beyond this line.”

And in the eyes of the fallen I see—

“You are a madman, bewitched by the nightmare”

A voiceless prayer—

The reflection in your eyes shows no one

Only a ghost remains

Who once dreamed

That your voice could cradle the world

Since then, I have swung my blade uncounted times

Since then, your name has echoed within my chest

They rescued me from death

Yet killing you was the only way to save them

That radiant light—

Is it the hue of sin?

If I reach for it, will all turn to ash?

I dwell within the cage of kingship

Your song still lingers

Rending heaven and earth alike

But I shall not turn away—

To silence you is my final prayer

And the only way I know to love you

The blood that scatters

The melody that fades—

I will carve them into my heart

Even as they dissolve into eternal foam
