INTRO
Once I had a life that felt like home,
A family gathered close to me,
I never thought I'd walk this road alone,
Or lose the man I used to be.
VERSE I
A jealous thought poisoned what we knew,
I let my anger take control,
Each careless choice became untrue,
Until I lost the life that made me whole.
I climbed the throne my own mistakes had made,
With nothing left but memories cold,
Every promise slowly slipped away,
And loneliness became my world.
PRE-CHORUS
No throne can warm these empty rooms,
No silence can undo the past,
I wear the weight of what I've done,
And wonder how long I can last.
CHORUS
Sitting on the lonely throne.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
Please send me an angel to take me home.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
SO ALONE! YES, SO ALONE!
VERSE II
The years disappeared like migrating birds,
I chased them, but they flew away,
I called them back with desperate words,
But yesterday would never stay.
I'm not a hermit hiding from the world,
A few friends remain, some family too,
They keep me standing when the colors fade,
But there are rooms no one can enter through.
CHORUS
Sitting on the lonely throne.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
Please send me an angel to take me home.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
SO ALONE! YES, SO ALONE!
METAL SOLO
Fast, furious guitars — screaming bends, rapid alternate picking, crushing final chord.
VERSE III
The world outside still carries every shade,
While something grey lives underneath my skin,
I fear that love has simply passed me by,
And left me with the war I cannot win.
Who would choose the man behind these years?
Who would stay when all the walls come down?
Who would hold the pieces without fear,
And lift me from this lonely ground?
PRE-CHORUS II
I don't need someone to erase my past,
Just someone who can see me as I am.
CHORUS
Sitting on the lonely throne.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
Please send me an angel to take me home.
I DIE ALONE, I DIE ALONE!
SO ALONE! YES, SO ALONE!
BRIDGE
When silence grows too loud to bear,
My thoughts become a rising tide,
I search for someone who might care,
But hear the empty rooms inside.
The final grains keep falling,
Each one more year gone by,
I don't know where the ending leads,
I only know I don't want to die.
METAL SOLO
Melodic, emotional guitar solo building from clean sorrow into a violent, soaring climax.
BREAKDOWN
I DIE ALONE!
Is this the end that waits for me?
I DIE ALONE!
Or is there still a chance to break free?
I DIE ALONE!
I DON'T WANT TO DIE ALONE!
FINAL
Come and save me before I disappear,
Show me the love I thought was gone forever.
Take my hand and stay near,
Teach me how to love again.
I don't need heaven at my door,
Just let me know I'm not alone.
Show me I can love once more,
And lead this broken man back home.
COME AND SAVE ME!
SHOW ME LOVE AGAIN!
DON'T LET ME DIE ALONE!
