Looking out over your kingdom
As far as your eyes could see
Did you think that you would live forever?
Did you think you'd always be a king?
Your life, your love, and everything
Did you ever think you'd lose it all?
'Cause I'm standing on top of your kingdom
On these decrepit castle walls
Was your kingdom as big in reality
As it was inside your head?
You wanted a mighty empire
But you got crumbling walls instead
You didn't count on your mortality
As a hurdle that would make you fall
And now I'm standing on top of your throne
And all I see are ruined castle walls
I'm standing in your brokedown palace
On these fallen walls I see
I'm standing on the hope of your future
And it's a past long gone for me
