Kingdom without King (final)

Verse 1

The marble stairs remember every rain

The banners hang in tatters from the wall

A crown of rust still resting on the floor

Where once a voice commanded every hall

The gardens grow so wild beneath the moon

No lanterns lit along the empty lane

They say the kingdom fell one winter noon

And nothing in the kingdom lives the same

Chorus

Kingdom without a king

Who holds the morning now

The bells still ring for no one

The stars forget to bow

Verse 2

I wandered through the chapel holding breath

The altar cold and dust upon the psalms

I swear I heard your footsteps after death

A whisper drifting through the silent palms

The portrait by the staircase looks at me

Your eyes still searching for a throne that's gone

I carried all your stories like a sea

And now the tide has nowhere else to run

Chorus

Kingdom without a king

Who holds the morning now

The bells still ring for no one

The stars forget to bow

Bridge

I used to stand beside you in the light

I used to know the weight of every word

Now I hum the songs you sang at night

A prisoner to every note I heard

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Kingdom without a king

Who holds the morning now

The bells still ring for no one

The stars forget to bow

Kingdom without a king

The gates all grown with vine

I wait beside the window

For you to cross the line

Outro

The kingdom without a king

The kingdom without a king
