Lyrics The Autumn Offering

The Autumn Offering

Crown Yourself A King Kill Yourself A Queen

the relics of my long dead past

a black rose in constant bloom

no tears for my misfortune

this shadow

heart noone intrudes

...and ive lived in my own way

these words ive lived to tell

when you knew you couldnt save me

to open arms or death you gave me

if my words open your eyes

would that make this justified

ive been left behind

so why do we seek our tortures

blind words of noble men

this opaque heart i curse

ive come so far now

the past ive left behind

these years of anguish left me hollow

you have crowned yourself a queen

yet a pawn that you have made

i choke in the blackened waters

amidst the waves

alive we'll burn
