lyrics

Warden of an ancient crown
It's office bestowed on me
A shadow of this kingdom
Unconquered for how long?
Enemies at our gates
They smell their price within
Like vultures circling closer
This carcass empire

In the siege courage denies me
Before me, staring at me I see the

Mounds of ashen skulls
Placed beneath the throne
A monument to greater kings
Who from their tombs now share their spoils
Sleeping at my feet
Our enemies of old
A joyous sight if they could see
Their conquerors line be ended now

The fire spreading now within our walls
The gates cannot hold no more
From the old tombs of monarchs:
Hear the crumbling of their stones

The killing fields been brought to the one that spent a life time to avoid
Falling from the throne that he was never made to hold

In the siege courage denies me
Before me, staring at me I see the

Mounds of ashen skulls
Placed beneath the throne
A monument to greater kings
Who from their tombs now share their spoils
Sleeping at my feet
Our enemies of old
A joyous sight if they could see
Their conquerors line be ended now
