Castle In The Clouds

Years spent roaming
Through countless nights
This road before me
The end in sight.

It falls around
The fortress walls they crack like brittle bone
Hear the sound
Magnificent and full of horror
Go live your life outside of the shadows
Be a voice, not an echo
I stand on battered feet
From the ground beneath
I can't help but think it's the end.

My path ends here.

Stained glass falling everywhere
I see it passing through the air
And past the broken shroud I found
An end to my life on the ground.

Stained glass falling everywhere
I see it passing through the air
And past the broken shroud I found
An end to my life on the ground.

Look around at desolation
See the fall of the creation
A fear was born of insurrection
End of my life or a new start?

Far beyond the moonlight's reach
I have traveled looking for the fortress in the air that I was brought to seek.

Led by the stone, away from sea
Finally I have found meaning to my quest that has always been inside of me.

But the fortress walls crack like brittle bone
They reveal the secret of the stone.

Live for life without the fear of death
Glory fades and the Grave takes the rest.

It falls around
The fortress walls they crack like brittle bone
Hear the sound
Magnificent and full of horror
Go live your life outside of the shadows
Be a voice, not an echo
I stand on battered feet
from the ground beneath
I can't help but think it's the end.

I've faced my fears, I've fought my doubts
What I found was a Castle in the Clouds.

I see the walls of the great Castle, so strong against the attacks
Crumble before their own dead weight, and spread a web of cracks.

There's more to life than death
And seeing is only believing for the blind.

But Death and I are the best of friends
We've been close so many times.

Through forests and plains I have wasted away
Over mountains and glaciers my skin turned to gray
I gave up my home to travel alone
Into the world, leaving all I had known.

Listen to me.

In every trial from far away
I have been here with you each step of the way.

It falls around
The fortress walls they crack like brittle bone
Hear the sound
Magnificent and full of horror
Go live your life outside of the shadows
Be a voice, not an echo
I stand on battered feet
From the ground beneath
I can't help but think it's the end.
