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
