A Tyrant's Demise (the song)

by Tarquin Alexandra

/

about

A non-romantic love song!

lyrics

I wonder about time
But I won't mention it
For your sake
And mine

You call me from the bath
I take it as a sign

By the light of tomorrow's sky
Through the fog of.a different time
In the name of a well kept promise
At the stake of a tyrant's demise

I can see who I dreamed I'd be
Into focus I reach
Will you join me to meet who I grew up to be?

I wonder inside
You steal my sentences
And say them
In time

When you read books aloud
I take it as a sign

By the light of tomorrow's sky
Through the fog of.a different time
In the name of a well kept promise
At the stake of a tyrant's demise

I can see who I dreamed I'd be
Into focus I reach
Will you join me to meet who you grew up to be?

Casualties in waves sound just like my name
Tilted like the feral summoned by my tame
Amenable demeanour holding by a wire
Just in the nick of time

By the light of tomorrow's sky
Through the fog of.a different time
In the name of a well kept promise
At the stake of a tyrant's demise

I can see who I dreamed I'd be
Into focus I reach
Will you join me to meet who I grew up to be?

Happiness feels naive
Something too sacred to see
Will you join me to meet who you grew up to be?
Will you join me to meet who I grew up to be?
