Lyrics:

He’s still here.
He’s still here.
He’s still—
Nothing left to rule but the remnants of his name.

The crown fell first.
Then the light.
Then the breath that called him king.
Stone remembers more than flesh does.
He walks because the dust commands it.
He walks because he can’t remember stopping.

Step. Step. Step.
Each one hollows the world a little more.

He is gone! (still walking)
He is gone! (still walking)
He is gone—
but the ground still trembles when he passes!

I watch the rust climb his spine like ivy.
I whisper king and the word rots in my mouth.
I forget my name watching him forget his.
We are both forgetting.
We are both forgetting.
We are both—

There’s no throne.
There’s no end.
Only the circle, only the circle, only the—
Did you hear that?
The air still bows when he turns.
The air still calls him king.

Walk / crumble / walk
Walk / crumble / walk
His feet leave tracks in clay.
I trace them.
I trace them until I fade.

He is gone! (still walking)
He is gone! (still walking)
He is gone—
and I am following his shadow!

The crown sleeps in the dirt.
The king sleeps on his feet.
Drangleic sleeps in dust.
And I am awake just long enough
to watch him pass again
