Once Upon A Time

I see the walls of black and gold

And though the faces here look kind

I know the secrets that they hold

Each one is playing their cards close

And all of them have stories that will probably never be told

Have you heard of the man with the mask

Or the great ruler who one day finally snapped and he blew all that he'd made to kingdom come

Have you heard of the kid who led men into war

Or the tale of the un-killable warrior

These legends all were so much more than rhymes once upon a time

I see the ocean down below

I'm flying in the night

I touch the sky

The stars are just so close

I search for hours in the snow

Longing for a feeling that I felt when I was home

Have you heard of the man with the mask

Or the kid who wished that he could take it all back

Would've never done what he'd done if he'd known

Have you heard of the ghost that would melt in the rain

Or the girl who had nothing to lose, just to gain

These legends all were so much more than rhymes once upon a time

Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

I see obsidian and smoke

The ashes that still linger here are traces of what once was home

We lost

But the story must get told

One of power, friendship, and betrayal

A tale as old as time

Oh

Once upon a time

Once upon a time I saw the walls of black and gold

Oh
