Kingdom of Fear

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Father wore a crown of quiet gold

Mother's wings could fold the morning light

They named me blessed and the whole world watched

I was a prince who never learned to age

Pre-Chorus

I watched them laugh

I watched them gray

I watched them go

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to grieve

Something colder took the space

Where my sorrow used to be

I forgot how to grieve

Post-Chorus

Black Star rising

Black Star rising

(Black Star rising)

Verse 2

The castle went silent as a grave

So I let the shadow wear my face

White eyes burning in a hollowed skull

They stopped calling me their prince

Pre-Chorus

Night fell on Duskwood

Night fell on me

(Night fell on me)

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to grieve

Something colder took the space

Where my sorrow used to be

I forgot how to grieve

Post-Chorus

Black Star rising

Black Star rising

(Black Star rising)

Bridge

Crystal climbed my shaking legs

Stripped the power from my spine

Four relics burned the dark away

And I saw my father's sword

Dripping red in my own hand

Breakdown

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

(I'm sorry)

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to grieve

A thousand years of empty halls

And no one left to see

I forgot how to grieve

Post-Chorus

Black Star falling

Black Star falling

(Black Star falling)

Outro

Just a frightened prince

Vines across the throne

I'm sorry
