Lyrics

Nothing can cheer me
I am like the king of a rainy land
Wealthy but impotent, moribond and senile

Nothing can cheer me
Even the sage alchemist who no longer smoothes my gold
Nor my subjects who come to die beneath the balcony

Nothing can cheer me
I am like the king of a rainy land
Wealthy but impotent, moribond and senile

I'm the dissonant chord in the divine symphony
Condemned to eternal chants but unable to sing
Gargantuan decline
Gargantuan decline

I shed a darkness sadder than nights are
Detestable silent child, hurl a horrible howl
Chamber of eternal mourning vibrant with old agony
Hear the bitter laughter of the whale
Prince of exile, to whom injustice has been done
In your defeat arise more firm

Nothing can cheer me
Even the sage alchemist who no longer smoothes my gold
Nor my subjects who come to die beneath the balcony

Vampire of my own heart
Kisses alive mortuary chrysalids
Gargantuan decline
Gargantuan decline

Prince of exile, implant in hearts the cult of wounds
Soaring aloft the like a second sun
Prince of exile, to whom harm has been done
Enable the lotus bloom
