Boxes and Stone

[Verse 1]
One by one they fell
The walls could not control
The mob too strong to quell
A storm too large to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
And a kingdom of bliss
It was gone with a hiss
Late at night, close my eyes
All alone, reminisce

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The haunting glow within
Coal embers burning bright
And each breath of the wind
Reminds me of the time

[Pre-Chorus]
When a kingdom of bliss
It was gone with a hiss
Late at night close my eyes
All alone reminisce

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Of boxes and stone
