Holding On Lyrics by River Stole Gods

New Eyes EP

2022

The empire must forever stand
My bones, weak and weary
They've conquered deserts and seas
My darkening eyes know stories
Untold forevermore
My shriveling hands withheld enemies' breath
They've caressed the skin of lovers long gone
But what does all this sum up to?
Will this all go to waste?
Has my action meant nothing
When my throne has been replaced?
[Chorus]
My lеgacy must live beyond myself
Or all thе pain I endured was in vain
The empire must forever stand
The empire stands
Against all winds, against all tides
Shall this monument remind you of my light
Never forgotten I'll never truly die
Kindle the fire I ignited in my life
Feed the flame
Speak my name
Recall my words
And forever bear the pain
And yet what arrogance is speaking from me
To think my legacy could be
Stronger than winds, stronger than tides
Does Gaia not take everything in time?
[Chorus]
My legacy must live beyond myself
Or all the pain I endure was in vain
The empire must forever stand
Yet haven't I forgotten my fathers' name?
Is this castle not built on ruins?
Haven't I myself raided the bones
Of those who failed this test before me?
One more inch
My tower will reach heaven
On top I'll light a beacon
That forever illuminates the night
