Citadel

[Verse 1]
She had the eyes of an angel
But her wings were always tied
Six feet under heavy earth
While I was getting high
She had a smile full of innocence
Seven voices in her mind
Handing her the shovel
While I was drunk on wine

[Chorus]
They called it hell
So down you fell
I built a citadel
Our fates were sealed
You chose to yield
I built a citadel

[Verse 2]
She had the touch of an artist
Found her canvas on my skin
I was scared of losing
And she was afraid of sin
There was a time I was uncertain
'Til I was forced to choose a side
She had a talent for surrender
And I would rather have died

[Chorus]
And they called it hell
So down you fell
I built a citadel
Our fates were sealed
You chose to yield
I built a citadel

[Post-Chorus]
I built a citadel
I built a citadel

[Bridge]
Time should scare the ghosts away
But hindsight always makes them stay
And we grow older
Years go by
But I don't know which one of us was right
She still has voices in her mind
And I've locked everyone outside

[Chorus]
And they called it hell
So down you fell
I built a citadel
Our fates were sealed
You chose to yield
I built a citadel
They called it hell
So down you fell
I built a citadel
Our fates were sealed
You chose to yield
No secrets left to tell

[Post-Chorus]
I built a citadel
I built a citadel
Oh

[Outro]
She still has voices in her mind
And I've locked everyone outside
