Monarch Lyrics by Empress

Fateweaver

2022

[Verse]
White embers lead the way to undiscovered planes
Cloaked in the shade of the familiar
With searing pain brings endless loss
The compass lies and the map is long gone

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no path to find the way
Am I alone in this place?

[Chorus]
Where there once was an orchard of comfort
There’s naught for me now
With nowhere left to hide my shame for the life that I’ve lost
My sun & moon have given way unto strange crimson skies
But I can’t see where this happiness lies
Fate stole the air
Taking from me
All that I envisioned life were to be

[Post-Chorus]
Embrace the dissolve into rebirth

[Bridge]
Where there once was an orchard of comfort
There’s naught for me now
With nowhere left to hide my shame for the life that I’ve lost
Free from shallow hearts & empty minds
My soul departs into the sea of this savage unknown
Free for a while
Beyond the tide of where I had once stood
Time shields my eyes

[Spoken Words]
And as I surrendered
To the darkness
Allowed the old to die
The prison was a chrysalis
A second chance at life

[Pre-Chorus]
Staring past the maw into the arms
Of what I feared and yearned for most

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Where there once was an orchard of comfort
A new sapling grows
With no more need to harbor shame for the life that I’ve lost
From the fertile soil of my mind I’ll plant a world in the shade of all that I’ve learned
At journey’s end I will emerge where horizon meets the sea with my past leaving me
Unveiled from stories dressed in gold who’d give their lives to be reborn
And from the shattered sky I’ve found the truth
And straight from the ashes
Life starts anew
