[Intro] One last bell in the valley One last flag in the rain One last crown on the altar One last walk through the pain [Verse] I returned to the old gates Where the ivy climbed the stone The palace stood in silence Like a body without a soul There were names carved in the doorway There were ghosts behind the glass And I felt the life I worshipped Turn to dust beneath my past [Pre-Chorus] I did not come here for glory I did not come here to call I came to watch in mercy As the last kingdom falls [Chorus] The last kingdom falls And the sky opens wide The last kingdom falls And I step outside No more throne to defend No more war with the walls I am free when it ends When the last kingdom falls [Verse] I laid the crown in the ashes I laid the sword in the dust I laid down every story That was built on fear and lust I thought losing was the ending I thought ruin was the grave But the heart becomes a country When it learns what not to save [Pre-Chorus] I did not come here for glory I did not come here to crawl I came to stand here breathing As the last kingdom falls [Chorus] The last kingdom falls And the sky opens wide The last kingdom falls And I step outside No more throne to defend No more war with the walls I am free when it ends When the last kingdom falls [Instrumental] Piano fades into thunder Strings rise under the flame Guitars lift like wings from the wreckage Calling out a brand-new name [Bridge] To the love that I lost I will carry your light To the friends who betrayed me I release you tonight To the man I became I forgive what I can To the boy in the ruins Take my hand, take my hand We are not what we conquered We are not what we owned We are more than the kingdoms We were terrified to lose alone [Breakdown] Let it fall Let it fall Every tower, every wall Let it fall Let it fall I am standing after all [Build-up] No crown above me No chains below No fear inside me No throne to hold The night is ending The dawn is calling I hear the whole world breathe As the last kingdom is falling [Chorus] The last kingdom falls And the sky opens wide The last kingdom falls And I step outside No more throne to defend No more war with the walls I am free when it ends When the last kingdom falls [Chorus] The last kingdom falls But my heart is alive The last kingdom falls And the fire survives No more iron disguise No more pride standing tall I become who I am When the last kingdom falls [Outro] One last bell in the valley One last flag in the rain One last crown in the ashes No more kingdom, no more chains I walk out under the morning With no throne, no golden walls And I finally rise completely As the last kingdom falls
