A King's Lament

Cyannie, my child, do you hear me

You call for freedom, but you don't see

The walls I built, the chains you fight

Were forged in the shadow of that cursed night

She was my heart, my guiding star

A love so bright... now lost afar

She swore she'd stay, she held my hand

Then fate took her where I cannot stand

You call me cruel, you call me blind

But love is not so soft and kind

You do not know the cost of fate

To watch the one you love-too late

I lost my queen, I lost my soul

Torn from my hands, beyond control

So hear me now, my only light

I swore I'd keep you safe from night

You are my child, my only light

I swore to guard you from the night

I lost my queen, I lost my soul

I won't let fate take my last hope

Hyacinth whispered, Let her choose

But she is gone... What more to lose

A world of thieves, of war and lies

Would take you too-before my eyes

So curse my hands, curse my throne

But I will not stand here alone

I cannot break, I will not bend

Or lose my child to fate again

I lost my queen, I lost my soul

Torn from my hands, beyond control

So hear me now, my only light

I swore I'd keep you safe from night

You are my child, my only light

I swore to guard you from the night

I lost my queen, I lost my soul

I won't let fate take my last hope

Hyacinth... can you hear me still

I failed you once... I never will

But if I'm wrong, if I must break

Then let me fall... for my child's sake

Can you hear me still

I failed you once... I never will

But if I'm wrong, if I must break

Then let me fall... for my child's sake

You are my child, my only light

I swore to guard you from the night

I lost my queen, I lost my soul

Take my last hope

Can you hear me still

I failed you once... I never will

But if I'm wrong, if I must break

Then let me fall... for my child's sake
