Ancient Kingdom Lyrics

When the Sultan gives orders to take your head
You must ride the winds to safety or you'll wind up dead
Through the evil and darkness you make your stand
Only skeletons of war will guide you by the hand

Silence growing loud
Failure is not allowed

The battle that rages before my eyes
Is no different than the one that is inside my head

Silence growing loud
Failure is not allowed

Ancient Kingdom still remains
Crumble slowly
Ride beyond mortality
Leaving beauty now

Falling rain
Sensing pain of mind
Falling rain
Sensing pain of mind
Pain of mind

Falling rain
Sensing pain of mind
Falling rain
Sensing pain of mind
Pain of mind

Silence growing loud
Failure is not allowed

Ancient Kingdom still remains
Crumble slowly
Ride beyond mortality
Leaving beauty now

Sparks explode into the air
Live forever
Ageless sounds they never die
And I will remain
