Only Us

When bells of shame have faded And I remain reviled Let vengeance roar for blood and war Behind a scornful smile The vow, the kin, the rival A vision violent, vile These questions three have haunted me Since I was but a child So much I have lost and so much I resent My spite became the steps upon the stairway of descent Let it all burn down around us Let the cruel consume the just Let the sin we swim in drown us Let the world shatter Into dust Nothing else matters Only us When kings have long been buried When vows have long been lost When the night brings fear then the lion's tears Shall fall on fire and frost This hopeless doomed devotion The poison that I crave I jilt the new to return to you Endure you till my grave And I'm no man of honor, my guilt runs dark and deep My oaths betray each other till there's nothing left to keep Let it all burn down around us Let the cruel consume the just Let the sin we swim in drown us Let the world shatter Into dust Nothing else matters Only us And they will raze our towers And spit upon our names And the ravens black over the fields of ash Will whisper our tales of shame So let it all burn down around us Let the cruel consume the just Let the sin we swim in drown us Let the world shatter Into dust Nothing else matters Only us
