We walk through halls we did not build
Living out another's will
Ancient footprints mark the ground
Silent lessons handed down
Every stone contains a scar
Every wound has traveled far
What was planted long ago
Still decides what we will know
Names are written in the dust
Covered over by the rust
Yet their shadows linger on
Long after the voices are gone
Broken altars, shattered vows
No one remembers why or how
Only fragments still remain
Passed from hand to hand again
Inherited dreams
Inherited fears
The weight of forgotten years
Carried forward
Line by line
A burden hidden inside time
Some were builders, some deceived
Some believed what they received
Some refused to see the cost
Of the things that had been lost
Now the silence starts to break
Beneath the cracks beneath the ache
A distant echo calls once more
From behind a sealed door
History sleeps but never dies
Waiting underneath the lies
What was buried will return
When the time has come to learn
The bones beneath the kingdom floor
Still speak of what came before
