The Archetype Suite: II. The Lonely King

from Shade & Soil by Ethos

/

lyrics

My eyes are on the hopeless
And no one seems to notice
Just like a shadow in the dark
Unweary beasts of burden
Allured by cunning sermons
Indifference makes an easy mark

I’ve come to give you heaven’s fire
To gain your inner most desire

Devoid, Resist
A shadow, a kiss

Wake up and see
The dawn is breaking
On a new regime
I’ll set you free
When I return
As the Lonely King

I bear the fruit you’ve been denied
Come eat
Be free
Your thirst will soon be satisfied
Lay trust in me
I hold the key

I’ve come to give you heaven’s fire
To gain your inner most desire
I serve no king
I will not bend the knee
I’ll watch you bleed

Devoid, resist
A shadow, a kiss
A kiss on the cheek
The mark of deceit


As the conspiracies unwind
All the patterns intertwine
Have you no eyes to see
Or will you ignore my plea
Have you no eyes to see
Have you no memory of me?

No matter the weight
I’ll bear it
I’ll wear this crown
I’ll lay me down

Wake up and see
The dawn is breaking
On a new regime
I’ll set you free
When I return
As the Lonely King

I’ll set you free
When I am king
This is not
The end of me
