Every time I'm sad I fake a smile As I hide in fear just to shake a while Backing up in corners, sing me a lullaby Cuz I know they're coming to blow out the light of mine What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would there be peace on the other side? Or would it just be a silent requiem What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would the fire cease before they decide to blindly believe a silent requiem Always keeping me at the tip of the knife Never let me settle at the ease of a happy life The silence felt like screams that echoed through the night I still can't understand, so will you tell me why? What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would there be peace on the other side? Or would it just be a silent requiem What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would the fire cease before they decide to blindly believe a silent requiem Chasing shadows of a dream we can't gasp In the silence, we drown in the past The light that we once had will ever last Singing quietly in the night, pull me back to truth What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would there be peace on the other side? Or would it just be a silent requiem What are they fighting for as the kingdom falls? Would the fire cease before they decide to blindly believe a silent requiem
