Lyrics:
[Intro]
[Verse]
The dust has settled on the marble floor
Where kings once bartered for a little more
The ink is faded on the vellum skin
And no one knows where the tales begin
We traded diamonds for a bowl of sand
While shadows lengthened across the land
The sundial broken and the water dried
With nothing left but our hollow pride
[Chorus]
The final page is turning in the cold
The secrets kept are stories already told
We look for signs in the dying light
To see us through this approaching night
The words are written in the iron ground
Where the lost and the broken might be found
At the end of the long and winding mile
We face the silence with a weary smile
[Bridge]
They told us the mountain would never fall
That we were safe behind the highest wall
But the wind doesn't care for an empire's name
And the rain will wash away the flame
Every empire thinks it's the last to stand
Until the clock runs out of shifting sand
[Verse]
The blacksmith left his hammer by the gate
No longer carving out a different fate
The bells are heavy and they refuse to swing
For a country that has forgotten how to sing
Take the map and throw it in the fire
Watch the smoke rise higher and higher
There's no one left to interpret the dream
Or steer the boat back against the stream
[Pre-Chorus]
The stars are blinking like a closing eye
A sudden hush beneath the purple sky
The heavy weighted heart begins to slow
With nowhere left for the restless to go
[Chorus]
The final page is turning in the cold
The secrets kept are stories already told
We look for signs in the dying light
To see us through this approaching night
The words are written in the iron ground
Where the lost and the broken might be found
At the end of the long and winding mile
We face the silence with a weary smile
[Outro]
