- - - TRAVELER : THE FORGOTTEN KING - - -


My shadow blankets like a shroud
Deep in my personal winter
The crescent moon and howling winds
As the days grow dimmer
I feel this age upon my chest
Sat upon a throne made for lords
Poisoned barbs high upon my crest
In this night of black swords

I desire the angels
Fallen from the stars
A weary traveler
All forgotten
But for the scars

The legend of the king of night
Is a monster in the mirror
A legacy built upon glass
Broken into slivers
A siren singing in my ear
Shackles me down in my despair
A fine line between love and fear
Is but a shame I bare

The fire of the angels
Fallen unto me
I, weary traveler
All forsaken
My inner beast

Driven to the coffin
Inscribed with runes
Iron, cold to the touch
My long awaited doom
Remains just out of reach

I am the King of Night
I walk the shadow plight
I am the broken hearts
The stroke of midnight
The phantom bell
I am the pitch black dark

This sovereignty to Hell
Begets the demon, cold, rigid
Damocles holds high his doom blade
Steeped in death, frigid
Place your firstborn on my altar
Such a mediocre offer
Give to me your son of daughter
Lead them to the slaughter

And the choir of angels
Fallen to the earth
The weary traveler
Unforgiven
Await rebirth

I am the King of Night
I walk the shadow plight
I am the broken hearts
The stroke of midnight
The phantom bell
I am the pitch black dark

I desire the angels
Fallen from the stars
A weary traveler
All forgotten
But for the scars
