The Great Tale Of How I Ruined It All

(专辑： The Great Tale Of How I Ruined It All - 2018)

Humor me for another minute or two
Please let me tell you how it ends
Hear the great tale of how I ruined it all
If you have the will to spend

A curtain closes on our story
An empire fallen from glory
A selfish sense of justice
Implored me to save myself
Strange how it takes being down to have
Something to stand for

Then it all went down
I bid farewell
I took the crown from where it fell
I Pulled the roots from where they
Rested In the rotten depths of hell

Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can't tell me how to live
Or for what I'd give my life
Now the whole world's singing this
Anthem into the dark of night

And in the dark we all gather one last time
To make something of the sticks and stones
That once built up their thrones
We'll build our brand new home, oh

And it all went down
I bid farewell
I took the crown from where it fell
A bright new flame
A blinding light
Astounding brilliance
Brand new life

Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can't tell me how to live
Or for what I'd give my life
Now the whole world's singing this
Anthem into the dark of night

In the lens through which some eyes will see
This tale is one of failure
And though I don't think I'm your enemy
I'll never be your savior
And in the lens through which some eyes will see
This tale is one of victory
And though I don't think I'm a failure
I don't deserve your sympathy

Can you hear the sound?
Of a brand new kingdom now
Of our old lights fizzled out
Light a new fire for what we used to aspire to be
You can't tell me how to live
Or for what I'd give my life
Now the whole world's singing this
Anthem into the dark of night

So we draw a new curtain
A new door becomes open
The tale of the sun has Come to an end
(But the tale of the sun can't end)
