The Lonely Monarch

I dwell in you shadow I dare not wake what's asleep I grew in your shadow I never defied the resting beast But when you dress in your black wings again When you turn your back on me again Still not denying you Still not denying you I've tried a thousand times And bowed a thousand more And I fought through eternal nights To keep us from falling It's written across the sky It offers clarity It is not you, it's only me Who keeps us from falling down I always felt a burden It was always hard Always felt uncertain You never meant no harm Raise that head again Wake that will again Solution could be tranquil And absolution so close Don't fear to turn inside Leave that path behind Cross the inner lines Change your ways to end Where are your reasons to extend The lonely monarch's war again? I've tried a thousand times And bowed a thousand more I fought through eternal nights To keep us from falling It's written across the sky It offers clarity It is not you, it's only me Who keeps us from falling I've tried a thousand times And bowed a thousand more I fought through eternal nights To keep us from falling It's written across the sky It's clear for all to see That it's not you, it's only me Who keeps us from falling down Who keeps us from falling down Who keeps us from falling down
