The Palace of Tears Lyrics


Loneliest planet, starless sky

Gray dust and quietude

Nothing grows here thousands of years

Here stands the Palace of Tears

Deserted planet breathing its winds

Dust erodes the proud halls

The sole living creature among the plain stones

Is sitting on his golden throne

Loneliest planet isolated

Horizon unending

Nothing to see here thousands of years

Only the Palace of Tears

Deserted planet breeding its winds

Overrules the proud halls

An undying creature all alone

Is weeping on his golden throne

King stillness, forced to breathe the odorless air - waits and he cries

King stillness, forced to stare in his conqueror’s eyes - waits and he cries

Pipes running through his body, screws in the head

King stillness waits for the mercy of time - waits and he cries

Deserted planet breeding its winds

Overrules the proud halls

An undying creature all alone

Is weeping on his golden throne

Eons passing by, the king will never die

He can shed as many tears as he has

Past is smothering, he bears the suffering

Until time immemorial

King stillness, forced to breathe the odorless air - waits and he cries

King stillness, forced to stare in his conqueror’s eyes - waits and he cries

Pipes running through his body, screws in the head

King stillness waits for the mercy of time - waits and he cries

Powerless are the days, lightless are the nights

This empty void is never changing

His mind is clear and sane, bound to feel the pain

Recall the bright past over and over again…

The king’s legacy, the greatest penalty

Waiting so long for the gracious demise

Memories smothering, eternal suffering

Until time immemorial

King stillness, forced to breathe the odorless air - waits and he cries

King stillness, forced to stare in his conqueror’s eyes - waits and he cries

Pipes running through his body, screws in the head

King stillness waits for the mercy of time - waits and he cries
