A legacy, it isn't what we say When we are here, it's what others say about us When we're gone and reunited in the timeless void I never even wanted this for myself It's just something that came with the oath we took To the people that we swore to protect in times of despair No king rules forever The constant burden, burden Even the sun cannot light up this dark day The night strangles the rays away Your heroic tales I will pass on Now when you are gone You buried the dagger in the shoulder That used to carry you through hell Winning wars for you in the past Never gave us anything Nothing's forever Even the sun cannot light up this dark day The night strangles the rays away Your heroic tales I will pass on Now when you're gone And in his crown, no one would ever fit Everyone would break beneath it I watch your son's troubled eyes As the last anthem dies At the edge of souls, he gave his life To heal the death of the prince, the king is dead The king is dead, long live the king The king is dead, long live the king The king is dead, long live the king No king rules forever The constant burden, burden Even the sun cannot light up this dark day The night strangles the rays away Your heroic tales I will pass on Now when you're gone And in his crown, no one would ever fit Everyone would break beneath it I watch your son's troubled eyes As the last anthem dies
