Lyrics for Heavy Lies the Crown
Clouds of defiance Over mankind they gently weep On this verge I collapse While God stays sound asleep Losing the balance I'm losing the hold of it all Make these trembling ghosts Not chase me anymore Stars shine brighter Yet heavy lies the crown Distant still clutching In the blackness of it all And the candle burns out As I touch your heart For treading the footsteps Of many sorrows passed And I yearn for the sun to set For the curtain to fall This is all I am All I have Fallen from luster To nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn A haunted, starless sky Fragile, oh so deep The dying softly wakes And smiles in painless peace Fallen from luster To nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn And the drumless beat It dissolves into the mire But you are sleeping And a vacuum to my fire And I yearn for the sun to set For the curtain to fall This is all I am All I have Fallen from luster To nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn A haunted, starless sky Fragile, oh so deep The dying softly wakes And smiles in painless peace
