Death of a King

When the dawn is bright and new,
and the day is full of hope
It's easy to continue your journey,
like a King on his royal way
You will stand there in amidst silence,
in the void of endless winter
On the ice of an unknown lake,
in the heart of loneliness

(chorus x2)
There you will meet yourself,
there you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
on the mirror of time

When the days are getting colder,
and the winds clash against each other
When light is getting dimmer,
and darkness shrouds the roads
You will drift into strange byways,
lost in foreign lands
Stranded on frigid shores,
on a godless, desolate plain

(Chorus x2)

It's there where your endeavour ends,
on the face of a forlorn lake
Under weight of a timeless sky,
It is there, where you shall die
