years spent roaming through countless nights this road before me the end in sight it falls around the fortress walls they crack like brittle bone hear the sound magnificent and full of horror go live your life outside of the shadows be a voice not an echo i stand on battered feet from the ground beneath i cant help but think its the end my path ends here stained glass falling everywhere i see it passing through the air and past the broken shroud i found an end to my life on the ground stained glass falling everywhere i see it passing through the air and past the broken shroud i found an end to my life on the ground look around at desolation see the fall of the creation a fear was born of insurrection end of my life or a new start far beyond the moonlights reach i have traveled looking for the fortress in the air that i was brought to seek led by the stone away from sea finally i have found meaning to my quest that has always been inside of me but the fortress walls crack like brittle bone they reveal the secret of the stone live for life without the fear of death glory fades and the grave takes the rest it falls around the fortress walls they crack like brittle bone hear the sound magnificent and full of horror go live your life outside of the shadows be a voice not an echo i stand on battered feet from the ground beneath i cant help but think its the end ive faced my fears ive fought my doubts what i found was a castle in the clouds i see the walls of the great castle so strong against the attacks crumble before their own dead weight and spread a web of cracks theres more to life than death and seeing is only believing for the blind but death and i are the best of friends weve been close so many times through forests and plains i have wasted away over mountains and glaciers my skin turned to gray i gave up my home to travel alone into the world leaving all i had known listen to me in every trial from far away i have been here with you each step of the way it falls around the fortress walls they crack like brittle bone hear the sound magnificent and full of horror go live your life outside of the shadows be a voice not an echo i stand on battered feet from the ground beneath i cant help but think its the end
