[Intro]
Whispers echo through the halls of time
Dreams of glory, now confined
A tale as old as dust and dust
Kings and queens in fleeting trust
[Verse 1]
Built on hope, on trembling ground
Rising shadows all around
Night falls heavy, light slips away
What remains at the end of the day?
[Pre-Chorus]
Fortunes made and stories told
Fading echoes of the bold
Every crest begins to glide
Chasing down the tide
[Chorus]
Every great kingdom will rise and then fall
Echoes of empires that once stood tall
Sands of time slipping through our hands
Legacies written in shifting sands
Every throne will someday decay
A fleeting crown, a borrowed day
Rise in glory, fall to dust
The cycle of power, the endless rust
[Bridge]
Underneath the grandeur, the silence screams
Dreams shatter like broken streams
Humbling worlds with their endless spin
What’s lost, what’s gained, where to begin?
[Outro]
So hold your kingdoms in your heart
For even the largest fall apart
A story told in whispers wide
Rise and fall, the tide will guide
