Kingdom Falls by The Lost Trades Lyrics

[Verse]
When did white noise supplant the silence?
It seeps into my every pore
A legion builds behind my eyelids
Invaders gathered on the shore
They hold me captive in my fortress
I am a prisoner of war
Stripped of all of my defences
My voice is drowned out by their roar

[Chorus]
But if I leave the words unwritten they'll leave chains around my heart
They'll weigh me down, unbidden, hidden deep in every part of me
And the measure of my being will lost beyond recall
When the cracks appear upon my castle walls
That’s when my Kingdom Falls

[Verse]
It’s more than putting pen to paper
In many ways my saving grace
It keeps the devil on the doorstep
Keeps the monsters in their place
My demons rally in the darkness
But my pen is equal to the sword
I shall resist their occupation
I will not bow down to their cause
[Chorus]
Cos if I leave the words unwritten they'll leave chains around my heart
They'll weigh me down, unbidden, hidden deep in every part of me
And the measure of my being will lost beyond recall
When the cracks appear upon my castle walls
That’s when my Kingdom Falls
That’s when my Kingdom Falls

[Bridge]
So I escape into the forest
Find my peace among cascading golden leaves
I am imbued with ancient secrets
It throws me into sharp relief

[Chorus]
If I leave the words unwritten they'll leave chains around my heart
They'll weigh me down, unbidden, hidden deep in every part of me
And the measure of my being will lost beyond recall
When the cracks appear upon my castle walls
That’s when my Kingdom Falls
That’s when my Kingdom Falls
