Syair Lagu #3 : The King’s Eclipse

She turns a king into a broken man Lets every crown slip from his hand The rich must beg where they once stand The brave fall hard, no longer grand

She lights the night with borrowed flame Makes even suns forget their name The wind stands still, the stars grow tame The river stops, ashamed of shame

I stand between her yes and no A heart too weak, a mind too slow I try to leave, I try to go But love is all I’ve ever known

What am I now inside her eyes No king, no truth, no noble lies Not moon, not sun in open skies Just love that lives and slowly dies

I walk a road that has no end Each step a loss I can’t defend My name’s a wound I never mend A lonely heart she couldn’t bend

If she is love, why does it hurt If she is truth, why am I cursed I gave my soul, I gave her first But all I gained was something worse

I don’t know where I’m meant to go Her shadow’s all I’ll ever know I loved her more than I could show And lost myself in loving so
