Kingdoms Fall

Midnight shadows on the wall

Dreams too big, the truth too small

Whispers echo through the haze

Promises we can’t erase

They draw the lines, we play the game

Trading freedom for a name

Spinning wheels that never stop

Climbing high until we drop

Everyone builds their kingdom tall

But no one sees how kingdoms fall

Raise the flag, then watch it burn

We never live, we never learn

Golden lies in silver frames

We’re just pieces, not the same

Running fast, we lose the race

Still we smile to save our face

Behind the masks, we’re all afraid

Chasing thrones we should evade

Calling peace, preparing war

Always needing something more

Everyone wants the crown and sword

But no one knows what they’re fighting for

All the walls we’ve built so high

Crumble when we question why

Oh, the silence in control

Oh, the price we pay for roles

If the world is just a stage

Who’s the writer, who’s the rage?

Everyone plays their secret part

Trying to lead with a hollow heart

History writes, and time decides

Who was wrong and who just tried

We rise, we fall, we fade away

And still the world just turns each day

Nothing’s real, but nothing’s fake

Just the choices that we make
