Page of Swords Lyrics

You told us of heights, of power and grandeur

You showed us the rites, decks of cards and fortune

Soothed our ears, craving adulation

Wizards and warlords and emperors above the masses

Climb up and rise towards the mountain call

At the summit lie the answers to all

Spires of stone reach for the stars

A path of violence, of cruelty and scars

Stepping on faces for inches upwards

A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend

You fed us with lies that gave us purpose

Eyes on the prize only fools to stop us

The wheel will turn reward for our sins

Up on that peak is the silver lining we're chasing

Do not linger, you deserve so much more

Climb the mountain, you will see far beyond

Spires of stone reach for the stars

A path of violence, treachery and scars

Stepping on faces for inches upwards

A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend

Turning away

The path never ends

I won't bear the weight

We cannot make amends on our own, shine on

High price to pay

To never make sense of it all

Oh, castles will fall, their towers torn down, and I long for

The tides to erase it all, their pride and their thrones

Stumbling down, back to the shore, I'm not ready to

fight my reflection in the mirror
