The war drums echo, danger near
But all I see is your silence, dear
They gather swords, I light the sky
Just to see you laugh, not cry
The towers burn, the city shakes
But nothing matched the joy you make
One glance, one laugh, that fleeting grace
Was worth a kingdom laid to waste
I knew the cost, I knew the fall
But I’d trade it all, I'd risk it all
The world may say I was blind
But your smile was my peace of mind
Now shadows claim the throne I knew
But I don’t regret what I chose to do
A broken crown, a ruined mile
All for love, for just one smile
