*(Verse 1)*
In a time long gone, a faded memory,
Where the gods once walked, and we were free,
We dreamed of light, to save the lost,
But they turned away, and we paid the cost.
Exiled for kindness, for wanting to heal,
While the darkness thrived, we were forced to kneel.
*(Chorus)*
Oh, the weight of betrayal, it cuts like a knife,
From the one I called brother, who shattered my life.
In the ashes of love, in the ruins of trust,
Now I sit on this throne, with nothing but dust.
*(Verse 2)*
Found the love of my life, in a world full of pain,
With a son in our arms, we danced in the rain.
But the war came crashing, like thunder and fire,
Tears turned to blood, as we lost our desire.
When I thought it was over, my heart filled with dread,
The friend I believed in, left my family dead.
*(Chorus)*
Oh, the weight of betrayal, it cuts like a knife,
From the one I called brother, who shattered my life.
In the ashes of love, in the ruins of trust,
Now I sit on this throne, with nothing but dust.
*(Bridge)*
He took my son under his wicked wing,
Promised him power, the throne of a king.
But the demons awoke, and they took their toll,
Now my boy's gone too, swallowed whole.
In the silence of night, I scream to the stars,
But they’re deaf to my pain, they’ve left me with scars.
*(Verse 3)*
Now I’m alone, with the shadows I keep,
Haunted by memories, I can’t help but weep.
The love that I lost, the trust that was torn,
In this kingdom of sorrow, I wear my crown of scorn.
What’s left of my story, just agony and hate,
Is this the first act, or is it too late?
*(Chorus)*
Oh, the weight of betrayal, it cuts like a knife,
From the one I called brother, who shattered my life.
In the ashes of love, in the ruins of trust,
Now I sit on this throne, with nothing but dust.
*(Outro)*
So I raise my glass to the ghosts of my past,
To the love that I cherished, to the friendships that last.
In the echoes of silence, I’ll carry their flame,
For in the depths of my heart, I’ll never be the same.
This tale of betrayal, it’s written in stone,
But perhaps in the darkness, I’ll find my way home.
