Castles - Daniel Tompkins

Castles don’t survive through kings' emptied hearts

With your hand in mine we conquered it all

We are the stars, the lords of a new age

We are the legends and secret of outrage

We are the ones, bringer of brightest light

All of these castles crumbling tonight

We are the song of conquest and crier

We are the burning of unquenched desire

We are the sun, the sanctity and the fight

All of these masters fall away tonight

Breathing ash and flame, our hands we will bind

Crested, no man came to serve single hand

We are the stars, the lords of a new age

We are the legends and secret of outrage

We are the ones, bringer of brightest light

All of these castles crumbling tonight

We are the song of conquest and crier

We are the burning of unquenched desire

We are the sun, the sanctity and the fight

All of these masters fall away tonight

I feel you inside me, a stabbing unwinding

And somehow I’m certain, no questions, no lying

You shan’t be so frightened, my hands, you are carried

And softly reminded it’s fate that’s behind

A kingdom awaits you, a master obeys you

Be still and be quiet, your heart will not silent

I nurture your touch and your tongue and your violence

You’re tender, my firmness, my fire, my kindness

A taste of your softness, I fill you with wanting

A comfort, a warmth of a love ever growing

We’re tearing away the resistance we scatter

The fear of unknowing, we shun ever after

We are the stars, the lords of a new age

We are the legends and secret of outrage

We are the ones, bringer of brightest light
