One by one the

The walls coul

        
d not control

            
A mob too stro

        
ng to quell

           
A storm too la

        
rge to hold

[Pre-chorus]

            
And a kingdom

Late at night

[Verse]

            
The haunting g

      
low within

           
Coal embers bu

       
rning bright

            
And each breat

         
h of the wind 

           
Reminds me of 

    
the time 


[Pre-chorus]

            
When a kingdom
