The Abdiction Lyrics

Album: Ride Out

In a gleaming vision

I saw my father’s shade

His royal voice was steady

But tears ran down his face

Look how far we’ve fallen

A once proud and noble name

If honor is within you

My son, you must

Cast aside the crown

Burn the castle down!

Tonight the curse will be broken

Take the sacred temple flame

Let it burn the altar

Where the covenant was made

When our line was fated

To repeat the same mistakes

When for greed and envy

We sold the realm away

The jackals circle now

Still hungry for the power

Ignite the royal pyre

Let them choke on the ash!

Cast aside the crown

Burn the castle down!

The ancient debt has been paid

Let folly die in flame!

The jackals circle now

Still hungry for the power

Ignite the royal pyre

Let them choke on the ash!

My son…

Cast aside the crown

Burn the castle down!

The ancient debt has been paid

The kindgdom reborn in flame!

In flame…
