Savatage - Castles Burning lyrics

In the dark and bleeding With the shadows seething There he stands alone Fools and faith conspire Questions of desire That they never owned Kings without their armor Men without their honor Spit out desecration Pieces of a nation Buried in the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls Coffins drowned in roses And the war he chose is Fought inside the mind d**h becomes compelling When the soul's for selling And the world is blind In the maze he wanders Looks about and ponders Shadows mock and taunt him And the ghosts that haunt him Chain him to the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When said please listen all Do not look behind these walls And does the pendulum toll Against the side of he soul When if feels the final moment is near Do you rage against the dark Try to re-write the part Turn around and face what you fear What you fear He's seen it all before Close your eyes and close the door And the dreams that nights embrace Slowly leave behind a trace
