The Weight of the Crown Lyrics


A shiver runs down your spine

You feel it inside your bones

Every possibility burst through your mind

But lies drip from the tip, from the tip of your tongue

The world turns at a twist, at a twist of your fingers

As far as your eyes can see

This is as far as your greed can grow

Your will is the law, your law is above all

Anything you want is everything that will come

But not a single night you’ll sleep in calm

Your thoughts will never be your own

Everyone around you, used like pawns

All you conquer at the price of their souls

2x

Poison in your cup

Knifes at your back

Snakes in your bed

Your people will reflect your love

Your people will reflect your love!

2x

A skull entangled in gold, as you go estranged and cold

As pieces just mangled you try to hold

A shiver runs down your spine

You feel it inside your bones

Every possibility burst through your mind

But lies drip from the tip, from the tip of your tongue

The world turns at a twist, at a twist of your fingers

As far as your eyes can see

This is as far as your greed can grow

Your will is the law, your law is above all

Anything you want is everything that will come

But not a single night you’ll sleep in calm

Steps echoes through endless corridors

Ghosts of every mistake will take control

You’ll fall down to the greed held inside

Your head amongst your enemies, in a spike
