Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't stay, run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay, run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay, run away
Your role as usurper is found out
Don't stay, run away
Czarina has warned of the danger
[Verse 2]
It's your own fault
This is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay
[Verse 3]
Don't stay, run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay, run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay, run away
Your role as usurper is found out
Don't stay, run away
Czarina has warned of the danger
[Verse 4]
It's your own fault
This is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay
[Verse 5]
By the light of the moon
You must escape into the deep black of the night
Fight the devil inside
Enemies poison deep within my second sight
Wasting valuable time
[Verse 6]
Ride the tides of blood (Illumination)
Beauty's sudden hand (Shattered crown)
Stretching arms up high (We're on our way now)
Leave the Czar to die
[Verse 7]
By the light of the moon
You must escape into the deep black of the night
Fight the devil inside
Enemies poison deep within my second sight
Wasting valuable time
[Verse 8]
Ride the tides of blood (Illumination)
Beauty's sudden hand (Shattered crown)
Stretching arms up high (We're on our way now)
Leave the Czar to die
[Verse 9]
Spiraling up through the crack in the sky
Leaving material world behind
I see your face in constellations
The martyr is ending his life for mine
[Verse 10]
Don't stay, run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay, run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay, run away
Your role as usurper is found out
Don't stay, run away
Czarina has warned of the danger
[Verse 11]
It's your own fault
This is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay
