The Kinslayer’s Lament | Lews Therin Telamon – Dark Epic Fantasy Music (The Wheel of Time)

“The Kinslayer’s Lament” is a dark cinematic orchestral rock epic inspired by Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon of the Age of Legends from The Wheel of Time.

This song tells the story of unmatched power and unbearable loss—of a man driven into madness by the Shadow, who destroys all he loves and is forever remembered as the Kinslayer. It captures the moment when victory turns to ruin, pride becomes torment, and the weight of guilt shatters the soul of a legend.

Blending epic orchestration, gothic rock intensity, and haunting cinematic textures, this piece explores madness, grief, and the terrible cost of saving the world. Lews Therin’s tragedy echoes through the Ages—a reminder that even the greatest heroes can fall.

Lyrics

I held the sun within my hands,
The world itself beneath my plans.
I shaped the fire, I carved the stone,
But in my grasp, I stood alone.

The Shadow whispered, soft and cold,
And pride became a chain of gold.
The ones I loved, I could not save,
Their laughter lost in the hands of a grave.

I saw the light, I saw the day,
But every joy I touched decayed.
Power is cruel, and love is blind,
Madness blooms in the halls of mind.

I am the Kinslayer, the fire and flame,
The world remembers, it whispers my name.
Madness rose where my heart once beat,
All I built is ash beneath my feet.

I reach for stars that burn too bright,
I hold the day, but I lost the night.
The throne of gods, the crown of pain,
All I have left is endless rain.

I carved the rivers, I touched the sky,
I laughed at fate, I dared to fly.
Yet in the dark, the truth unspools,
The man who dared becomes the fool.

The shadow crept in, silent and near,
And took the voice I longed to hear.
Madness bloomed where love had stood,
And every bond became ash and blood.

The world I made now hides in fear,
Every whisper, every tear.
I am the ruin, the endless night,
I am the king who lost the fight.

I am the Kinslayer, the fire and flame,
The world remembers, it whispers my name.
Madness rose where my heart once beat,
All I built is ash beneath my feet.

I reach for stars that burn too bright,
I hold the day, but I lost the night.
The throne of gods, the crown of pain,
All I have left is endless rain.

I screamed at the heavens, I cursed the ground,
The world collapsed without a sound.
Every joy I held, every life I kissed,
Vanished into the shadow’s mist.

I am the Kinslayer, the fire and flame,
The world remembers, it whispers my name.
Madness rose where my heart once beat,
All I built is ash beneath my feet.

I reach for stars that burn too bright,
I hold the day, but I lost the night.
The throne of gods, the crown of pain,
All I have left is endless rain.

And in the silence, I am alone,
The weight of a world I could not own.
