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
