Reflections of a Prince and Musings of a King Lyrics

One does not often sit and ponder, watching seasons change

As winter's shadow turns to summer's sun and snowfall turns to rain

One day it dawns upon you that childhood friends have aged

That boys you knew are old men now, oh how time's war has been waged

I see my lord, I feel his face, his face as cold as stone

And now my lord is slumbering in cold eternal stone

I hear my lord, and see him fall, his face turned towards the sky

I take the throne, reluctantly, for soon, I too, shall die

And yet, I linger on, for fifty winters past

Is not the curse of men to live while kin and comrades pass?

One does not often sit and watch as water weathers hardened rock

For rock and stone are flesh and bone

As time goes on

We grow alone
