Death Of A King - Amorphis

When the dawn is bright and new

And the day is full of hope

It’s easy to continue your journey

Like a king on his royal way

You will stand there amidst silence

In the void of endless winter

On the ice of an unknown lake

In the heart of loneliness

There you will meet yourself

There you’ll weigh your crown

On the ice of the lake of death

On the mirror of time

There you will meet yourself

There you’ll weigh your crown

On the ice of the lake of death

On the shiny mirror of time

When the days are getting colder

And the winds clash against each other

When light is getting dimmer

And darkness shrouds the roads

You will drift into strange byways

Lost in foreign lands

Stranded on frigid shores

On a godless desolate plain

There you will meet yourself

There you’ll weigh your crown

On the ice of the lake of death

On the mirror of time

It’s there where your endeavour ends

On the face of a forlorn lake

Under weight of a timeless sky

It is there where you shall die

There you will meet yourself

There you’ll weigh your crown

On the ice of the lake of death

On the mirror of time

There you will meet yourself

There you’ll weigh your crown

On the ice of the lake of death

On the shiny mirror of time

Death of the king
