Only Us Lyrics

When bells of shame have faded,
and I remain reviled,
let vengeance roar for blood and war,
behind a scornful smile.

The vow, the kin, the rival,
a vision violent, vile,
these questions three have haunted me,
since I was but a child.

So much I have lost and so much I resent,
my spite became the steps upon the stairway of descent.

(chorus)
Let it all burn down around us,
let the cruel consume the just.
Let the sin we swim in drown us,
let the world shatter
into dust.
Nothing else matters,
only us.

When kings have long been buried,
when vows have long been lost,
when the night brings fear, then the lion's tears
shall fall on fire and frost.

This hopeless doomed devotion,
the poison that I crave. I jilt the new, to return to you,
endure you till my grave.

And I'm no man of honor, my guilt runs dark and deep,
my oaths betray each other ´till there's nothing left to keep.

(chorus)
Let it all burn down around us,
let the cruel consume the just.
Let the sin we swim in drown us,
let the world shatter,
into dust.
Nothing else matters,
only us.

(chorus)
And they will raze our towers,
and spit upon our names,
and the ravens black over the fields of ash
will whisper our tales of shame.

(chorus)
So let it all burn down around us,
let the cruel consume the just
Let the sin we swim in drown us,
let the world shatter,
into dust.
Nothing else matters,
only us.
