"The Lonely Monarch" lyrics

"The Lonely Monarch"

I dwell in your shadow
I dare not wake what's asleep
I grew in your shadow
I never defied the resting beast
But when you dress in your black wings again
When you turn your back on me again
Still not denying you, still not denying you

I've tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more
And I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling
It's written across the sky
It offers clarity
It is not you it's only me who keeps us from falling down

I always felt a burden
It was always hard
Always felt uncertain
You never meant my harm
Raise that head again
Wake that will again

Solution could be tranquil and absolution so close
Don't fear to turn inside, leave the past behind
Cross the inner lines, change your ways to end
Where are your reasons to extend the lonely monarch's war again?

I've tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more
I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling
It's written across the sky
It offers clarity
It is not you it's only me who keeps us from falling

I've tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more
I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling
It's written across the sky
It's clear for all to see
That it's not you it's only me who keeps us from falling down
Who keeps us from falling
Who keeps us from falling down
