Verse 1
Veil of misguided trust
a blindfold of greed
has now made me
greater than you
A sovereign
and my own being
ruling myself
I alienate
the cause that binds
a creed of words
defines not my worth
Livestock for gods
standing in line
singing of grace
That I now defy
Pre-chorus 1
Lies I decree
no longer aligned
with what I have deemed worthwhile
Rather than gag
on blissful views
I’m forcing my dogma through
Verse 2
When I am awake
you kiss my feet
but when I sleep
you sharpen the knife
Poison my food
with anything you find
and pray for my death
Trust my currency
with which I have bought
all that I have
spelling my demise
Foreshadowing
what I’ve always known
you hide behind lies
Thus your master plan fails
Pre-chorus 2
All shall fall
behind my back
I step away from death
I’ll leave behind
this crown of mine
cascading my own rule
Chorus
Once a proud king forsaking his crown
walking away from the pyres
The gallows stand barren this dreadful day
no head shall ornate the crumbling walls

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
