Kingdom Come - The Fall of the Blackbird

 

I drew blanks from the start and I should've gone home

Followed the road not run, I paved for my downfall

My faith was gone, killed to a silence

And the death march trance followed me to the fortress

I see my kingdom come crashing down 

And I hear battle cries like silent sirens

In my soul, it bleeds me blue 

So I hide away, deep in the walls

Cold and frail

I polish my blunt knives and throw on my tilted crown

Played both sides of the war, now my whole empire's gone

My faith was flawed, down to the worship

My bones were once bronzed, now they're fragile and overrun 

I see my kingdom come crashing down 

And I hear battle cries like silent sirens

In my soul, it bleeds me blue 

So I hide away, deep in the walls

Cold and frail

I dealt the final blow, watched your ships leave my harbour

All alone, my reign turns you to stone

My palace, so lovelorn, and haunted to a close

My friends, now foes who bolted at the crack of dawn

The air was warm, I turned elusive and it stung hard

You felt betrayed and fought, guarding my golden gates

I see my kingdom come crashing down 

And I hear battle cries like silent sirens

In my soul, it bleeds me blue 

So I hide away, deep in the walls

Cold and frail.
