[Verse] Behold my grave Mausoleum kingdom carved from marble The ghost of a castle It crumbles I have seen aeons' decay A splendorous rot Slowly fading away Withering as time slips by I can't die [Chorus] But time is unkind to things Meant to last forever Once I was the king of kings I remember Eternal eclipse An infernal treasure This beautiful ruin My palace of pleasure I'm alive [Verse 2] It is true Every dark secret In these stone halls is known by few By only me For I am still here Ancient world I hold dear And with me it shall disappear [Chorus] But time is unkind to things Meant to last forever Once I was the king of kings I remember Eternal eclipse An infernal treasure This beautiful ruin My palace of pleasure I'm alive [Bridge] Though my skin is cold My heart still beats Inside this ruined mold My soul waits to be released Though my skin is cold My heart still beats Inside this ruined mold My soul waits to be released Though my skin is cold My heart still beats Inside this ruined mold My soul waits to be released [Chorus] But time is unkind to things Meant to last forever Once I was the king of kings I remember Eternal eclipse An infernal treasure This beautiful ruin My palace of pleasure I'm alive
