Cursed King by Cymbre DolphaySlide the edge of the blade
Along the life line running
Across the plain of my palm
To reveal the blood that
Allows me to resurrect myself
And transgress this pain again
Midnight winds dancing
Under the stars of heaven
While I lay still
Cradled by a pool of crimson
Retreating from my body
Like the rebel armies
Sailing far from my shores
Each time I take my life
On this ancient battleground
I lose a little of the power
That drags me to this time
My sword rides sheathed
Within the cavity that was
My aching scalded heart
My army rides along those shores
So foreign and so far
From my loyalty and their lies
