Album: The Lasting Power (2000)

Treachery


[Music: Giuseppe Bondi]
[Lyrics: Claudio Diprima]

I'm the servant of the crown now and forever
No evil's bigger than the pain now I feel
I damn my heart for few promises forever
I keep on fighting, I make me strong
My lie has me in its power and chains up my soul
Because I only dream I deserve to die

Please forgive me oh my King for secrets in my heart
It's going against my nature, I'm going against my will
For few lands I betrayed, I will burn in Hell forever

Oh my King my treachery you will never forget
In my eyes there is no light anymore
Now I beg your mercy
I live for loyalty

I'm the servant of the crown now and forever
No evil's bigger than the pain now I feel
I damn my heart for few promises forever
Please forgive me oh my King for secrets in my heart
It's going against my nature, I'm going against my will
For few lands I betrayed, I will burn in Hell forever

Oh my King my treachery you will never forget
In my eyes there is no light anymore
I shall never come back to this reign again
'cause the treachery is pain for me
His promises of glory damned my soul in that night
And now my holy steel cannot fight
To hide my treachery and my despair anymore

And now my holy steel cannot fight
To hide my treachery and my despair anymore
