we built our castle and started to reign
over tormented cities no one feigned.
your dynasty began, ruled in vain,
because you thought there's so much to gain.you tasted victory's subtle kiss,
success brought you bliss.
but then greed clouded your vision,
you started to forget your mission.you became the person you never wanted to be,
you unknowingly drifted away from me.
our kingdom soon felt like a prison,
i was always stuck here waiting you at dawn.i acted like everything was okay,
tried to endure it all since i vowed to stay,
but everything's suddenly fading,
and yet i can't do anything.you promised to give me the world,
but i just needed someone to hold.
what's all with the wealth and honor,
when our love lost its color?how many nights of suffering do i have to live?
how much understanding do i have to give?
for all i wanted was your hand in mine,
but i can't just turn back time.
