Starmonger - Page of Swords Lyrics

You told us of heights, of power and grandeur
You showed us the rites, decks of cards and fortune
Soothed our ears, craving adulation
Wizards and warlords and emperors above the masses

Climb up and rise towards the mountain call
At the summit lie the answers to all

Spires of stone reach for the stars
A path of violence, of cruelty and scars
Stepping on faces for inches upwards
A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend

You fed us with lies that gave us purpose
Eyes on the prize only fools to stop us
The wheel will turn reward for our sins
Up on that peak is the silver lining we're chasing

Do not linger, you deserve so much more
Climb the mountain, you will see far beyond

Spires of stone reach for the stars
A path of violence, treachery and scars
Stepping on faces for inches upwards
A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend

Turning away
The path never ends
I won't bear the weight
We cannot make amends on our own, shine on
High price to pay
To never make sense of it all

Oh, castles will fall, their towers torn down, and I long for
The tides to erase it all, their pride and their thrones

Stumbling down, back to the shore, I'm not ready to
Fight my reflection in the mirror
