Boxes and Stone

One by one they fell The walls could not control The mob too strong to quell A storm too large to hold And a kingdom of bliss It was gone with a hiss Late at night close my eyes All alone Reminisce of when I owned a city That towered over trees So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And in there stood a castle With a solid gold throne Where I sat at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone The haunting glow within Coal embers burning bright And each breath of the wind Reminds me of the time When a kingdom of bliss It was gone with a hiss Late at night close my eyes All alone Reminisce of when I owned a city That towered over trees So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And in there stood a castle With a solid gold throne Where I sat at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone In the dark by the torchlight Forge the tools that I need To assemble to the walls that fall Each night inside of my dreams And so I'll keep on stacking Blocks on top of blocks still Because if I don't build myself a giant city Who will? And I will build a city That towers over trees So big it blocks the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And there will stand a castle with a solid gold throne Where I'll sit at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone
