Exilium Lyrics

Plagued with regret as thoughts lead me astray

Seeing the years of my life thrown away

Wishing to go back and alter the past

Longing, yet knowing, that nothing can last

Believing that I had a place to belong

Questioning how it could all go so wrong

Watching the city that I helped build burn

To know in my heart that I'll never return

Plagued with the truth of your lies for so long

Foreseeing the end but what could I have done?

Cursed by your selfish maniacal pride

Rather see it fall than succeed with me by your side

The years I stood beside you, with loyalty each day

You filled your greed with all I had then pushed me away

You clutched onto the crown and defiled the sacred throne

You'd burn us all just to rule this old kingdom alone

The deafening trauma and wounds I can't mend

I look back and wonder how I called you a friend

Once real, disappearing, but scars still remain

All the pain just reappears and it all starts again

Years fell like rain as I fought by your side

No more will I raise your banners

I lay down my blade and I bury the past

Never will my sword bleed again

The deafening trauma and wounds I can't mend

I look back and wonder how I called you a friend

Once real, disappearing, but scars still remain

All the pain just reappears and it all starts again

If I could gather the sand

From the shards of the hourglass

And have my time again

I would pour them away

Before I served you one for more day

Believing that I had a place to belong

Questioning how it could all go so wrong

Watching the city that I helped build burn

To know in my heart that I'll never return

The deafening trauma and wounds I can't mend

I look back and wonder how I called you a friend

Once real, disappearing, but scars still remain

And all the pain just reappears and it all starts again

Cast into exile, allegiance betrayed

Watching my city in ruins

All that I'd sacrificed, your kingdom, I saved

From the ashes you tell me now, who wins?

Years fell like rain as I fought by your side

No more will I raise your banners

I lay down my blade and I bury the past

Never will my sword bleed again

Never will my sword bleed again
