All alone once again, in silence
When all hope is lost
A cry out for help, but no one’s around
Can’t even recall when you became
this empty shell
or a social recluse, as people would say
On the throne of a lonesome kingdom
Not even the rats notice that you’re here
In this palace of solitude
Where the only oppressor is you
Away from the sunlight, in darkness you dwell
You thought the lack of humans would release you from this hell
..and their acts of evil
You crave the moonlight and this emptiness
but sadness befalls and what was left is now gone
Condemned to dwell…
This dream of fire rubble
your skin bulging like that of a reptile
Shiny, without a strand of soft hair
in the pale red light of the setting sun
It calls back to my lips the taste of my family’s bones
In the shadows of thick dried scabs
Wear the crown in a lonesome kingdom
Not even the bugs notice that you’re here
In this fortress of loneliness
Where the only oppressor is you
Embraced by darkness…
You’ve weld the scepter for way too long now
Your final days as king will come
But until the day you die, you’ll rule the land of no return
You wear the crown and perish
In this land far beyond, where the sea is made of tears
and the mountains are piled up filth
And when the sun rises, you wake up from a dream
in which you were where you belong, you saw the other side..
And yet another time, you said you’d wait a day
But now that you’ve seen the peace that’s waiting for you
the time to end this misery and to take off the crown has come
