歌词
[intro][guitar]
[Verse 1]
In a kingdom of shadows, under a moonless sky,
Lies a truth untold, beneath the royal lie.
A specter in the night, a whisper in the wind,
A tale of sorrow and regret, of sin that's yet to be pinned.
[Chorus]
Oh, the ghost in the castle, the secret in the hall,
The echo of madness, the writing on the wall.
The crown that's been tarnished, the throne that's been sold,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the truth unfolds.
[Verse 2]
A play within a play, a mirror to the king,
A silent scream in the dark, a deadly reckoning.
A rose by any other name, in the garden of deceit,
Where innocence is lost, and revenge is bittersweet.
[Bridge]
In the reflection of the blade, in the poison in the cup,
In the silence of the grave, the time is almost up.
The play is the thing, to catch the conscience of the king,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the bells of doom will ring.
[Chorus]
Oh, the ghost in the castle, the secret in the hall,
The echo of madness, the writing on the wall.
The crown that's been tarnished, the throne that's been sold,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the truth unfolds.
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the ghost in the castle, the secret in the hall,
The echo of madness, the writing on the wall
The echo of madness, the writing on the wall.
The crown that's been tarnished, the throne that's been sold,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the truth unfolds.
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the ghost in the castle, the secret in the hall,
The echo of madness, the writing on the wall.
The crown that's been tarnished, the throne that's been sold,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the truth unfolds.
(Outro)
So here ends the tale, under the starless sky,
In the kingdom of shadows, where even kings must die.
The stage is now empty, the players have all gone,
In the heart of the kingdom, where the play goes on and on.
