Throne of bones

The throne of bones stands lifeless
Amidst the rotten trees
The crown of tarnished silver is
Buried in mud and leaves
The wind still carries laughter
As well as blood and pain
A tale of sordid slaughter
And pleas cried out in vain

Chorus:
By traitors hand the king
Has left his mortal halls
His people mourn in shadows
Behind these haunted walls
You sometimes hear a whisper
And then the silence falls
Vengeful souls are resting
Until their master calls

I saw the glint of metal from
The corner of my eye
Sharp pain and flash of lightning
Then darkness numbed my mind
My wrath of thousand shadows
Has roamed for thousand days
Watching them in silence
Veiled in crimson haze

[Chorus]
Another sleepless night
I know they wonder why
It will pass - they say - and yes
They know that it's a lie
There's beauty in their anguish
The blade will bide it's time
King's death is lived forever
Vengeance will be mine
