Burden of Fortune
The king is dead and the throne is up for grabs
But my brother lays the blame on my shoulders
I've never seen such betrayal in all my years
I will be out for blood in the end
Cast out of this sanctum rusted from decay
Accusations made to drive me out
Of a place I once called home where I could lay down roots
The foundation has now crumbled
The high courts verdict aims to tarnish my name
The blood is on my hands is their lie, but I know the truth that all of this was staged
As they sever all ties in the meantime
The past will be unwritten
A betrayal in the highest
Does power corrupt us all
Left here, out in this unforgiving waste
Expected to fend for myself
As I gain a one track mind, survival being the only goal
Faces become a distant memory
Lofty ambitions for revenge begin to rush back
The future is far from certain, this derelict is rising to a realm of persistence
They will get what's coming
As they sever all ties in the meantime
The past will be unwritten
A betrayal in the highest
Does power corrupt us all
Division's the only guidance
As I hear fate come knocking
A callous evasion of virtue
I sure hope it was worth it
As I become so cold to the temptation at heart
It's hard to sit back while they drive us all apart
A fortune written in stone falls right through my hands
This is the last semblance of my empire of sands
It's been far too long, what has happened to this place
Rubble covers the streets. An uprising's the case
Peasants sick of a system meant to enslave
This isn't what I wanted, my home destroyed, my people slain
This is just the price you pay when making deals
With the devil himself in human form
Brother, what have you done? What have you done to our family
As they sever all ties in the meantime
The past will be unwritten
A betrayal in the highest
Does power corrupt us all
Division's the only guidance
As I hear fate come knocking
A callous evasion of virtue
I sure hope it was worth it
But my brother lays the blame on my shoulders
I've never seen such betrayal in all my years
I will be out for blood in the end
Cast out of this sanctum rusted from decay
Accusations made to drive me out
Of a place I once called home where I could lay down roots
The foundation has now crumbled
The high courts verdict aims to tarnish my name
The blood is on my hands is their lie, but I know the truth that all of this was staged
As they sever all ties in the meantime
The past will be unwritten
A betrayal in the highest
Does power corrupt us all
Left here, out in this unforgiving waste
Expected to fend for myself
As I gain a one track mind, survival being the only goal
Faces become a distant memory
Lofty ambitions for revenge begin to rush back
The future is far from certain, this derelict is rising to a realm of persistence
They will get what's coming
As they sever all ties in the meantime
The past will be unwritten
A betrayal in the highest
Does power corrupt us all
Division's the only guidance
As I hear fate come knocking
A callous evasion of virtue
I sure hope it was worth it
As I become so cold to the temptation at heart

Does power corrupt us all
Division's the only guidance
As I hear fate come knocking
A callous evasion of virtue
I sure hope it was worth it
