(Nefertari)
My little boy. He was born a living god. How can he be dead?
All our pyramids and palaces
Our obelisks and statues
Before my eyes, they crumble into sand
Beneath the weight of your tiny silent body
Our fortresses are fallen
And we stand on a barren, windswept land
Heartless
I know people call me heartless
Heartless
Oh, if only it were true
I wouldn't feel this unbearable ache
The stab when I felt my heart breaking
Shattered into shards, by the loss of you
Heartless
How I wish I could be heartless
But I can't be, someone else is grieving too
Like mine, his pain will last forever
Like rain that never ceases to pour
So I can't be heartless
For him, I can't be heartless
For him I never have needed heart more
I never have needed heart more
