Emperor's Curse

Take, you take what's left
You break their will as they watch you grow
Fade, fade from view
You light the fire just to prove them wrong

Can't step on these broken bones
I'm sure to leave no unturned stones
Your twisted way of loving those
The thorn of a bleeding rose

Dawn, when dawn comes up
Over your head and over the sun
Cold, between their own
You can't melt down what has not begun

Can't step on these broken bones
I'm sure to leave no unturned stones
Your twisted way of loving those
The thorn of a bleeding rose

Let it all, fall apart
I'll carry my own weight
