Listen closely, children, there's a lesson you must learn
Where we stand, the past was present
Passed us fast, our paths unpleasant
One with every hope there was
And two who fought when one was gone
The cold one's burning when thrones becoming pyres
Last one standing, no anger never crying
Ancient chapter, and now you answer to me
I'll do what I must
So that all's well when I'm gone
Drawing the line, standing tall
Smoke in your lungs, and here we are
So show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, you'll learn we're far from heaven, far from heaven now
Wolves and sheep, a cycle, can't run free
Take it from me
Don't believe in a mother's cruelty
So prove you're worthy
Woah, in praise of shadows
A red death casts a stone
With strength and your strength alone
Defend your home, it's burning
I'll protect you, care for you
Even if I'd hate to let you know
Reflected in you
Is a face that I lost long ago
So show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, you'll learn we're far from heaven, far from heaven now
Everlasting in the wake of
Blaze and ruin, lights are dancing
Just as you said
Casting shadows on these chains of mine
Show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, you'll learn we're far from heaven, far from heaven now
