Like a Sword Over Damocles
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.
Dark winter
Necrotic
Seems this will never end
Transgressions
My burdens are forever
Denial
Holding on
It's grip, it chokes the life
Of what was and will be
The eternal present
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne
Who of you will dare
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
Declension
This poison
The power killing me
Detachment
Who am I?
What have I done?
The violence
Full of hate
The habit of our sins
Atonement buried in an unmarked grave
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne
Who of you will dare
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
Is it all you hoped for
Is it all that you dreamed
Is it all you hoped for
Feel the weight being king
Is it all you hoped for
Feel the weight being king
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne
Who of you will dare
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
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
