My Son

Remember me and what I've seen

The tale of this lonely fair-haired queen

My throne is gone...And now the emptiness I bleed

The loss of my king and my noble steed

Please right these wrongs...

My kingdom's lost, yet your kingdom's won

Help me understand what wrong I've done

Screaming, just one word

Begging but unheard

Remember me, my son

Until the end...

I've walked so long inside these woods

The shadows of the evenings stood

in front of me...

Do you remember when we ran

Laughing, we were so happy then

But in came the rain...

You had my heart, I held your hand

I dreamt about this future man

Am I to blame?

You will not fail but you will not win

Oh, my darling son, let me in

Screaming, you heard

Begging, yet no word

Mourn me, my son

Until the end...

My prince, my dear,

my shadow's near

You will not wake

I will have it all

It's mine to take

My son, you're gone

This is my kingdom

So now, I forget youYour reign is through.
