Castles Burning Lyrics

In the dark and bleeding

With the shadows seething

There he stands alone

Fools and faith conspire

Questions of desire

That they never owned

Kings without their armor

Men without their honor

Spit out desecration

Pieces of a nation

Buried in the ground

Screams without a sound

Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried

That the jackal surely lied

When he said please listen all

Do not look behind these walls

Coffins drowned in roses

And the war he chose is

Fought inside the mind

Death becomes compelling

When the soul¹s for selling

And the world is blind

In the maze he wanders

Looks about and ponders

Shadows mock and taunt him

And the ghosts that haunt him

Chain him to the ground

Screams without a sound

Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried

That the jackal surely lied

When said please listen all

Do not look behind these walls

And does the pendulum toll

Against the side of he soul

When if feels the final moment is near

Do you rage against the dark

Try to re-write the part

Turn around and face what you fear

What you fear

He¹s seen it all before

Close your eyes and close the door

And the dreams that nights embrace

Slowly leave behind a trace
