Versailles

Prison of flesh, repulsion and beauty in one

Looming and slithering, my fears have materialized

From the dirt I will reign

To be remembered in a palace of kings

Slithering through the sands of time

From the dirt, I will reign

Will they remember me?

Omission, my lasting memory

Aching from uncertainty

Fear of empty hopes and dreams

To be laid in a palace with kings

My confinement is elaborate enough to fool the soul

Etching of eminence

A victim of distress, shackled by my own deception

The obsession consumes my life

This doubt inhabits me

Trepidations of a fortune slipping

How can I continue on like this?

From the earth, you will hear me

(Buried, I reign)

Louder than thunder

(Buried, I reign)

Fearing this failure

(Buried, I reign)

Will they remember me

(Buried, I reign)

in the palace of names?

My passion is a veil

Trapped beneath is a soul of uncertainty, begging for happiness

Prison of flesh, repulsion and beauty in one

Looming and slithering, my fears have materialized

From the dirt I will reign

To be remembered in a palace of kings

I will reign forever

Buried

I’ll reign from beneath

This question in my mind

Once I’m gone, what will it all mean?

The perpetual contemplation

I can’t help but feel this sinking feeling

Will I make it?

I have always battled with myself for years

Falling in the depths of doubt, I feel the winds of my chagrin

As the world goes on, I will fade

My stake in this will be my legacy, buried deep with me

From the dirt I will reign

You will remember me

For my voice will sing from the sky

As my soul ascends to the sun

As my chapter ends on this earth

You’ll remember me through these songs

Please remember what I have done

I will reign forever
