Lyric

I once stood on towers high

With banners waving in the sky

Every voice would call my name

Every crown proclaimed my reign

But the silence broke the sound

Golden walls came crashing down

In the ashes, now I see

The truth has changed the heart of me

Kingdoms fall, and thrones will fade

Glory’s just a fleeting shade

All the power, all the flame

Turned to whispers in the rain

Kingdoms fall, but love remains

Through the loss, through all the pain

What I keep when all is gone

Is the heart that carries on

Once the bells would ring for me

Every step was victory

Now I walk these streets alone

Through the ruins of my throne

And the people passing by

Never look me in the eye

Only echoes, only dust

Teach me kingdoms never last

Kingdoms fall, and thrones will fade

Glory’s just a fleeting shade

All the power, all the flame

Turned to whispers in the rain

Kingdoms fall, but love remains

Through the loss, through all the pain

What I keep when all is gone

Is the heart that carries on

Rise again, from broken stone

Find the light, though I’m alone

Crown of sorrow, crown of fire

Still my soul will lift me higher

Kingdoms fall, and thrones will fade

Glory’s just a fleeting shade

All the power, all the flame

Turned to whispers in the rain

Kingdoms fall, but love remains

Through the loss, through all the pain

What I keep when all is gone

Is the heart that carries on

The heart remains, though kingdoms fall

Through every rise, through every fall
