Letra de Mea Culpa

Mea culpa! (Mea culpa!) Mea culpa! (Mea culpa!) I wore the crown with pride, my kingdom in my hand But now I see the darkness, the shadows in my land I ruled with iron fist, oh, I thought I was so grand Now I face the judgment of the people I once damned Oh, I'm sorry, can you hear my plea? A broken king on bended knee In the final hour, let my heart be free As I face my fate, oh, forgive me In the halls of gold, I was blind to all their cries Now the walls are closing in, I see the fear in their eyes I squandered trust and love, I spun a web of lies Now my kingdom crumbles, beneath the blood-red skies Oh, I'm sorry, can you hear my plea? A broken king on bended knee In the final hour, let my heart be free As I face my fate, oh, forgive me Oh, I'm sorry, can you hear my plea? A broken king on bended knee In the final hour, let my heart be free As I face my fate, oh, forgive me Minutes away from destiny, I can feel the cold The voices of the many, the stories left untold If I could turn back time, I'd change the hands I hold But now I stand alone, in the truth I unfold Oh, I'm sorry, can you hear my plea? A broken king on bended knee In the final hour, let my heart be free As I face my fate, oh, forgive me In the halls of gold, I was blind to all their cries Now the walls are closing in, I see the fear in their eyes I squandered trust and love, I spun a web of lies Now my kingdom crumbles, beneath the blood-red skies Mea culpa! (Mea culpa!) Mea culpa! (Mea culpa!) As the end draws near, I see my kingdom fall The people rise against me, they answer the call I close my eyes, accept it all For a king who failed, this is my downfall
