The Way of Nature

I miss the shadows
I miss the complacency
Spoons to my eyes and take my sight
I do not want to see
There is a light
Burning
Behind the black clouds
And it burns and it burns and it burns
And it burns and it burns and it burns and it burns
I have seen my greatness flicker
After the lights went out
I used to shoulder the flame
But what do I carry now?
I have seen my greatness flicker
After the lights went out
I used to shoulder the flame
But what do I carry now?
What do I carry now?
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I built my walls up high
And watched my kingdoms fall
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I built my walls up high
And watched my kingdoms fall
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I will be true to you
I will, I will
I will be true to you
I will, I will
I will be true to you
I will, I will
Whatever comes
And I will be true to you
Whatever, whatever comes
Oh, I’ve shamed and dishonored it all
I dishonored it all
I want nothing
I am nothing
I could’ve done more
I could’ve done more
