The Hero Dies First - The End of Time Lyrics

This cycle - this cycle
This cycle will never end
This cycle - this cycle will never end
Just when I thought I'd finally made it
I'd broken through the woods
It sinks in
I've done the one thing that I thought I never could
This world is so much bigger than I ever could've dreamt
And in that moment I saw the extent of what had to be done
I knew that I was different
Where I'm from no one ever changed
It all stayed the same
But I felt myself grow day by day
You were born to pave the way for me
They hold the locks but you were the key
Looks like you slept too long
'Cause when you left me
I had everything I could ever need
To take this kingdom and bring it to it's knees
A king to all men
Under one banner
A world united under me
I knew that I was different
Where I'm from no one ever changed
It all stayed the same
But I felt myself grow day by day
Nothing stays the same
Power changes everything
Raise great monuments into the sky
In my name the old heretics die
And are born again
This cycle will never end
So here I am
Your hero and in time
I will bring the light home
For her I would topple castles and I'd banish the shadows
You cast your light so you can see
The full extent of my reach
Your gods have chosen me
So make way for calamity
We stay bound together 'til the end of time
So if you refill the hourglass
This world is still mine
Raise your sword
I am your - I am your
Demise
In time we will both fall but if my people call
I will rise again
