Sad Soliloquy

[Intro] [Music Box] [Verse: Intimate] My hands still reek of royal blood I spilled Beneath the crown lies a cold and hungry void I craved the power that the fates denied Dug through the dark to claim what we desired [Pre-Chorus] The clock ticks slow, the walls close in I can’t wash clean the sin within [Chorus: Powerful] [Hook: Emotional] My hands are clean no more, my soul is drowned The crown weighs heavy on a broken crown Guilt eats the flesh and leaves the spirit bound [Verse: Intimate] He was a man too soft to wield the knife I pushed him on when his resolve would fade I bit my tongue and held the dagger tight Now every shadow calls my name in shame [Pre-Chorus] The raven knocks upon my chamber door I cannot sleep, I cannot breathe no more [Chorus: Powerful] [Hook: Emotional] My hands are clean no more, my soul is drowned The mirror shows a witch where once was grace The ghost of every promise I betrayed I cannot wash the blood from off my frame [Bridge: Vulnerable] They say the guilty always pay the price I gave my soul for a throne of broken ice Every whisper in the night reminds Of the life we stole, the crown we bind Blues bend here, slow and heavy All the hopes I had are dead and buried [Chorus: Expansive] [Hook: Emotional] My hands are clean no more, my soul is drowned I begged for power, now I beg for end The curse is mine, no other can atone I’ll take this guilt down to my cold grave [Outro] [Music Box, Fading] My hands are clean no more, my soul is drowned [Fading Ending]
