lyrics

Come hell and high water
I'll find the shore and in truth will lie alone
When fall of rejection can't change my perception
Of friends I think I know
No cracks in the armor, no favors forgotten
Again I pay the toll
Walk into the mountain or stop, but now I know

That there's someone dying upon the throne
Now the piper's finished his show
He knows he's lying, but pretends to know
Why hatred drives him to be alone

It starts to unravel, I find myself in need of ones who care
When battles are over, the victory march can't mend the wounds and tears
It's better without them, they should be forgotten, again I feel the stares
Of cold eyes I never knew were there

That there's someone dying upon the throne
Now the piper's finished his show
He knows he's lying, but pretends to know
Why hatred drives him to be alone
And it seems I'm dying for you to know
That I finally finished your show
I should have listened, but now I know
That I'm better without the throne

The Siege Perilous Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"A sound similar to some of the classic alternative albums of the 90's, with a updated influence of today's indie superstars." ... more
