Monarch - Invent Animate

The monarch of silence condescends to speak

Foreign and familiar eyes meet through a temple haze

Surrounded by smoke that consumes a cloud of confidence

Witness to the purity of penance

Before the bond that holds us together

No more space between death and woefully unclean

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?

As soon as I graze you, it’s over for me

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?

Afraid to embrace if for once you could keep me safe

Afraid to embrace

Will you go away?

Restore my grace

Will you be waiting?

I have no intention to stay

For the first time, you met me where I stand

Wrapped me in drapes of your immortal embrace to cover who I think I am

Tremble

All questions erased

No more space between death and a sealed fate

A forbidden gaze

Unraveled at the sound of the throne room-shaking

The guilt and the shame

As soon as I graze you, it’s over for me

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?

Afraid to embrace if for once you could keep me safe

All this time I was afraid of dying alone

My first breath extended in the palm of your hand

My final belongs to you, it was yours when we began
