about

The gruesome public humiliation and torment of Sir Hugh Despenser left King Edward
torn between emotion and action. Kept in seclusion by his captors, he struggles to keep his nearly uncontrollable grief in check. After it is proven beyond doubt that Hugh was indeed manipulating the royal court for his own gains, Edward still cannot purge himself of this sorrow for a love lost. The realization of Hugh’s charade only adds to the King’s deep depression. In an agony of regret, he petitions the spirit of his former friend and confidante Roger D’Amory to forgive both Sir Hugh and himself. He also asks D’Amory to visit Hugh’s damned soul and provide some measure of comfort while he awaits the End of Days for God’s final judgment. As he finishes his prayers, he hears footsteps at his door…

lyrics

Smoke clears – the din dies own
Your blood dries up
Your lifeblood – stains these streets
Stains my streets
A fleeting wish – that it would pour anew
And drown us all
But the angels came - and they stripped your bones
To liberate your soul - from this cruel world

Sunken eyes submit to sleep
The ruins of my heart weigh down my body
After days of ghosts I admit defeat
and I feel you
Within slumber – no relief
Behind my eyes I relive your body
Hollowed out like an animal
I see you

Without you I am lost
I cannot reconcile with justice
I could watch each disciple fall
Choking on your your blessed ashes

Angel mine, in pieces
Skin adorned with the holy word
of a calloused god who couldn't understand
What we had
I come to within seconds
Gasping for air – grasping for you
I fall to my knees – I stifle screams
I need you
Without you I am lost
I cannot reconcile with justice
I could watch each disciple fall
Choking on your your blessed ashes

I feel your poison inside
If I flee this world there will be no hope for me
As I consider death I realize, that though I may die a coward
That it's your name that will live on in infamy

When my time comes – when I cave in – when I submit
I will surrender only my body
They'll never lay their hands on my spirit

This is a prayer to a victim
To embrace his own oppressor
To hold the hand that bruised his hide
To weather hell right by his side

Whispers - of clumsy assassins - plot outside my door
This is the light – the merciful end – I've been waiting for
I rush to bed – beneath my sheets – and feign a peaceful sleep
Soon these rats – angels of ill repute – will deliver me....

From this cruel world
