Castles in the Sand Imprints of tiny feet Lead me to a castle Where sand and tide forever meet There he built his home An intricate assembly Of fantasy and dirt Expectations children have The minute of their birth Imprints of tiny dreams Have no lasting value When the forces of our peers Wash out all we do Childhood's work Flushes away Water helped to mold it Now waves pound the bay Spiraling destruction Vanishing into the spray Combination of two elements That won't last a single day Castles on Fire Twelve o'clock and I walk away I have left the dawn My voice harsh to battle the impending doom Imprints of a soldier's feet Lead me to a meadow Where fire and dust forever meet Too light for their own shadow Searing sun on my back and I don't wanna live No idea of how to make sense of all those Clashing perceptions and emotions Certainly, I know it all Let's wipe out the existing Mason us a modern wall A new and mature building Boxes We all stand alone Back to back Boxes against boxes Peace simply means no attack Smart ones drill a tiny hole Letting in some air From a box locked waterproof We pretend that skies are fair Castles in the Air Keep on blowing air into the bubble till it bursts When its contents vaporizes will you be content Discovering that you're the last who could have been the first To keep your castle on the ground where it can firmly, oh so firmly stand? Ruins Sun sets Moon rises Breathe in Smell the decay I heave a sigh And I'm on my way A faint and low-pitched voice Reverberating through every essence Thickens the air and leaves no choice But to accept its omnipresence A somber concept flies Not deserving of our acquiescence "Only One holds the castle in the sky" Convicts us to a state of penance Balance When I'm there I'll know The key to happiness is not to be found In retrieving what we whish for most But in learning how to best balance our load Castle Lords Finally, now it strikes me hard: I have left my dawn When I used to be my universe's basic source Imprints of religious faith Suppressed me into the notion That only God creates at will My power dissolved in His Ocean Surfacing from the hypnotic deep sleep Returning to my gradient course to Forever effect all our Perceptions and emotions Certainly, I know all of the total Remodel all the existing Stack up the bricks for a modern world In affinity, persisting Castles inside We keep going the incline - oh oh Finding castles are inside - oh oh
