Only Us Lyrics

When bells of shame have faded

And I remain reviled

Let vengeance roar for blood and war

Behind a scornful smile

The vow, the kin, the rival

A vision violent, vile

These questions three have haunted me

Since I was but a child

So much I have lost and so much I resent

My spite became the steps upon the stairway of descent

Let it all burn down around us

Let the cruel consume the just

Let the sin we swim in drown us

Let the world shatter

Into dust

Nothing else matters

Only us

When kings have long been buried

When vows have long been lost

When the night brings fear then the lion’s tears

Shall fall on fire and frost

This hopeless doomed devotion

The poison that I crave

I jilt the new to return to you

Endure you till my grave

I’m no man of honor, my guilt runs dark and deep

My oaths betray each other till there’s nothing left to keep

Let it all burn down around us

Let the cruel consume the just

Let the sin we swim in drown us

Let the world shatter

Into dust

Nothing else matters

Only us

And they will raze our towers

And spit upon our names

And the ravens black over the fields of ash

Will whisper our tales of shame

Let it all burn down around us

Let the cruel consume the just

Let the sin we swim in drown us

Let the world shatter

Into dust

Nothing else matters

Only us
