A tall thing that could rise to any occasion Something unspoken, a whisper always heard And you and I cherish this thing more than forever Smarting, it stings now in the pass
And if we tear this kingdom down, tear it down Let it be with a deserving and joyous sound
Whistling river in the split of a desert drying A mirror to reflect what you always must see And paradise we agreed was a portrait of the two of us Well the pictures are fragile and the ideas taking the trees
And if we tear this kingdom down, tear it down Let it be with a deserving and joyous sound
In the form of this burned up basement we'll mourn all that used to be And the chalk scrawls out the shape of our bodies And the crows move faster than we can see
And if we tear this kingdom down, tear it down Let it be with a deserving and joyous sound
In the midst of this deadly hunger I am starving for a feast But from the distance a dusk is rapidly approaching Promising cold only after it cuts
And if we tear this kingdom down, tear it down Let it be with a deserving and joyous sound
