Throne of None (Feat. Elysian Tyrant)

from Reflections by Absence of Truth

lyrics

Forsaken all I’ve held dear
Amalgamation is what I have become
I do not recognize myself in the mirror
As I sit upon the throne of none

None that care. None I can confide in from heart to heart.
None that will stay by me up on the top.
I have done all of this for nothing.
I am not the same man I used to be
All because the prospect blinded me
But now that I have got everything and yet still I am lost
So I’m left with nothing

Forsaken by all who were near me
Before my metamorphosis to this demon
I do not recognize myself in the mirror
As I sit upon the throne of none

None that remain. None I can rely on to quell my pain.
None that will be by my side when it ends
Now it feels like I’ve done all of this for nothing.
I am not the same man I used to be
All because the prospect blinded me
But now that I’ve got everything and yet still I am lost
So I’m left with nothing

Naivety of mine I see as the clarity has set
I lay alone, my heart now filled with regret

The sacrifices I’ve made, now feels like it’s in vain
I thought that maybe being at the top would quell the pain
I do not recognize myself in the mirror
As I sit upon the throne of none

I have everything I could ever want
With an exception of what I truly need
Blinded by the flares of what I thought was success
Desolate I am left. I just want to scream

What more can I say?
Even the looking glass is mocking my being
As I sit upon the throne of
Blinding nothingness
I have to swallow my pride and mend the past and escape this
Blinding nothingness
The sheer isolation breaks me in two
Blinding nothingness
The suffocating loneliness that is haunting me growing louder and louder into
Blinding nothingness
The sheer isolation breaks me in two

Forsaken by all who were near me
Before my metamorphosis to this demon
I do not recognize myself in the mirror
As I sit upon the throne of none
