Special Scene Theme. A deeper look through the eyes of the Grand Finalian King Brantleigh as his nightmarish vision haunts a perilous future.
lyrics
THE WEATHERING KING
The sparkle in your pendant is dimming,
The memories of a monarch aren't worth living.
Deeper is the purple robe we follow,
Oh and your throne… Oh and your throne…
No longer a beacon, the shine in your scepter,
No longer a prosperous day in this weather,
Every cloud looks the same,
When you call upon the rain.
Oh, and the water here
Flows to be thicker than blood.
Oh, and the people here
Lose their hope in you, the chosen one.
Oh, and the pots they mold
How they crack in the cruel sun.
Oh-where will your tale be told
When-so-called justice comes undone?
This song is dedicated to failure,
To hopeless ending, enduring tenure, but
to perseverance, we raise our fists
Higher than this … Higher than this.
This land in which we're taught to care for
Told to nurture, but shown to tear or
Let it get chapped more than lips were then,
Back in the days you spoke fire in our hearts…
Oh, and the jewels in your crown
Shine with the deep red of blood.
Oh, and the people, your crowd,
They lose the hope in their chosen one.
Oh, and your statues they mold
Now weathered in ruthless sun.
Oh, will your tale be told
When your justice comes undone?
Undone…
Undone…
Undone.
How beautiful it truly is,
When winners lose it and admit it,
And accept their rightful place
Among the hopeful, forgiven,
… and graced.
Oh, and your fading crown
Is sinking to rivers of blood
Oh, and the faceless crowd
All drift away one by one
Oh, and the tales they told
How every head fell at once
Oh,-when will your knees be folded
as you fade into the sun?
