Crown Lyrics - Singles - Misc

If eyes are the mirror of the soul 

You will find in my the scorn and apathy 

You will read my hatred as in a curs'd book 

You will see yourself as I see you 

It is a mirror sombre and opaque 

Which protects me, which stifles me 

A great ditch around the heart 

Which rejects, which estranges me 

There is a world in my head 

A dead world where nothing lives 

And it is there I am, too far, 

Far too far to be rejoined 

A crown of thorns is still a crown 

I am a king in a kingdom of suffering 

I have taken my time to reach this stage 

I have taken pains to torture myself 

To descend, to descend 

Into pain, I exist 

And I my brain is numbed 

The thorn in my flesh 

Can overcome apathy 

There is glory in humiliation 

A throne to be taken, a crown to win 

I have no more tears, 

And my smile has lost its brilliance 

I have forgotten who I was, 

I have killed my emotions 

Crushed, empty, weary, 

Always standing, I am a tree 

Awaiting the lightning.
