Lyrics
The King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the ways to crush a soul
Dressed naked, raped by heartless ghouls
Slowly I left the livings' sphere
Into a world based on fear
The will to die
The desire to be
The desire to fly
The will to be free
Once more did I wave good-bye
They all knew that I was gonna die
A life lived based on futile hopes
Death would untie my ropes
Trapped in this net of lies
Missing the light in those eyes
On the day that I lost my soul
Did I finally reach my goal
My demons, they were mocking my soul
In Hell you will know it was your own fault
Before Hell's throne I did find my way
To the ghouls my soul was easy pray
