[Verse 1]
Dark winter
Necrotic
Seems this will never end
Transgressions
My burdens are forever
[Verse 2]
Denial
Holding on
It's grip, it chokes the life
Of what was and will be
The Eternal present
[Bridge]
D5
Who of you will dare
To sit in the throne
Who of you will dare
[Chorus]
A#5
You keep hanging this over me
Like a sword over Damocles
My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway
Like a sword over Damocles
[Verse 3]
Declension
This poison
The power killing me
Detachment
Who am I?
What have I done?
[Verse 4]
The violence
Full of hate
The habit of our sins
Atonement buried in an unmarked grave
[Bridge]
D5
Who of you will dare
To sit in the throne
Who of you will dare
[Chorus]
A#5
You keep hanging this over me
Like a sword over Damocles
My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway
Like a sword over Damocles
[Verse 3]
Is it all you hoped for
Is it all that you dreamed
Is it all you hoped for
Feel the weight being king
