“Requiem Dreams”

(Yeah… they don’t really know me though)

“Sleepin’ heavy, heart heavier… still walkin’.”

(Von Blackburn… Prince of the Hollow Thrones.)

I was born in a castle with silence for walls

Pops taught me how to swing, moms how to fall

They say I smile like I’m missin’ somethin’ inside

Truth is, I just learned to let the dark be my guide

Eyes purple — but I see in black and white

Swing my blade through the dusk, call it bringin’ back the light

My brother got that fire, my sister bring the spring

Me? I bring peace… with the voice of a king

Or maybe a ghost.

Still not sure if I'm livin’ or if I haunt hope

They call me lovable, loyal, sincere

But I sleep through the screams just to silence the fear

---

I don’t talk much, I just move

Let the katana cut through what I can’t prove

Don’t dream dreams, I dream war

Every death I dealt is written in my core

Black rose grow from my throne

But I water it alone… yeah

I water it alone…

Tell me what it mean when your soul numb

When the world call your name, but you never come

When the only real love is a sword in the night

And even that don't feel like it's swingin’ it right

I seen gods, seen giants, seen heaven and hell

But never seen a place where I feel like myself

Even in the Blackburn bloodline divine

Sometimes I wonder if this death still mine

Julian dreamin’ stars, Lydia sketchin’ sparks

Lucius got rage, and Anna live in the dark

Me? I got ghosts. Got regrets I ain't name

But I keep ‘em in a verse, that’s how I play the game

---

I don’t talk much, I just move

Let the katana cut through what I can’t prove

Don’t dream dreams, I dream war

Every death I dealt is written in my core

Black rose grow from my throne

But I water it alone… yeah

I water it alone…
