Heavy Is the Crown

So who's left standing?
Fallen icons feeble and abandoned
Deities that stood so tall
No longer looking down on us all

Such a fall from grace
Now lying in ruin completely disgraced
Count your blessings you lasted this long
It's a bitter sweet swan song

Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you'll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace

No apologies
No more chances
Damage is done, now serve your sentence
The signs were there
But we buried our heads
Hard to ignore but harder to reject

So hang your head in shame
You're fading, fading

Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you'll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we could never protect

What will become of those broken memories?
You shattered the hearts of oh so many. Go!

Who is the face that awaits in the mirror?
Do you cower in despair?
If my heroes aren't dead already
Then the rest are dead to me

Heavy is the crown
No one there to save you now
No one
No one at all
And look how far you've yet to fall
Maybe you'll lament
But you can't climb back from this descent
You stole a part of us
That we can never replace

Heavy lies the crown
