The City of Stone (The Burden of the Crownless Kings) Lyrics

Out in the distance I can see a shade of gold
Oh, what a glorious sight to finally behold
A black stone city lies in ruins just ahead
Home of a thousand statues, everything is dead

I look around, I am alone but yet they're here
The towers are within my grasp I'm finally near
Fragments of whispers on the wind, am I insane?
The town is dead but yet it speaks it calls my name...

I can hear them now
Kings that have no crown...
I can hear them now

"You've come to lands forgotten
Far away from the Great Plains...
But yet your thirst, could not be quenched
Beyond these gates you'll find your fate..."

"Go now but know you cannot trust his voice
Promising Silver and Gold
Leave this place never come back, stop the wheel
Remember the price of your choice..."

You won't stop me now
Damn this wretched town
You won't stop me now...
