Twilight of Lear Lyrics


A king reposed today

Another's on his way

his heart was stabbed with grief

That was his release

Two friends they walk behind

A blind man and a fool

His head holds only laughter

The blind man trips and falls

All to Battle now, Daughters of the crown

Lead your men onward, your father's hour is late

Loyalties divided, bring us ships and fate

The old man's tired hands crumble with his crown

Younger hands await, he can't hold them down

A misplaced legacy banishing of royal men

Admission and jealousness

The beginning of the end

A subject's bastard son schemes

With hopeless want

Two sisters prepare for war

It's a miracle the fight is won

While residing on the throne

A blind man's arm he grips

No laughing matter now

As the hold begins to slip
