An Echo from Actus Reus by Rogue Limb

The strength of a father squandered on his kin
Ashes stagnant, long interred within
A token gesture forever on our skin
The hope of this bloodline was washed away with him

Lost for a decade, I find myself adrift
A failing dynasty, succession but a myth
The future calls to me and she demands a gift
A request so humble yet still I cannot give

Where once we reigned
Nothing shall remain
Leave me to decay
You'll come to curse my name

Eyes ever downward, tomorrow falls to me
The weakness of this man exposed for all to see
I can't forgive myself for dragging you with me
But with our fates entwined, together now we grieve

Where once we reigned
Nothing shall remain
Leave me to decay
You'll come to curse my name

This meagre paradise shattered by regret
Showed up empty-handed, left with even less
We asked for nothing, and nothing's what we get
But an echo of a heartbeat from a soul we never met

The unspeakable days that we wept through
The unspeakable ways that I failed you
It's unspeakable, the way out is through
The unspeakable
