Track 8 - Echoes & Thrones
Vocaloid Horror
Lyrics:
You’re not the shadow standing tall,
The man I loved is beneath it all.
But your hands are cold, your eyes don’t see,
The monster’s mask where you used to be.
I call your name, but it’s swallowed whole,
The throne has stolen your heart, your soul.
Each step you take, you drift away,
But I won’t let you leave-I’ll make you stay.
Strike me down if it sets you free,
If breaking me helps you see.
I’ll take the pain, I’ll bear the scars,
To bring you back from where you are.
Your voice is sharp, your words cut deep,
The throne has sown what you now reap.
You raise your hand-I see the rage,
A beast unleashed, bound to a cage.
I beg, I plead, my knees hit the stone,
But your wrath is blind; it’s all you’ve known.
You strike, you shout, you tear me apart,
Each blow ripping what’s left of my heart.
“Do you see me? Do you even care?
Or is there nothing of you left in there?”
"Silence."
Strike me down if it sets you free,
If breaking me helps you see.
I’ll take the pain, I’ll bear the scars,
To bring you back from where you are.
You’re lost, I know, but I’ll still fight,
Even if it costs my light.
I’ll wait for you, no matter how far,
To bring you back from where you are.
Your hands, they shake, the blood drips slow,
The cost of power you now know.
I fall, but still, I call your name,
A fleeting whisper in the flame.
“I’ll always… protect you…”
