why don't you? (the kingdom has fallen) - marijke perry lyrics

[verse one]
all the knights came marching home
but there was no one at the door
all the grandeur they had known
had come on crumbling to the floor
who turned off all the torches?
who made the day so dark?
who left the scepter’s temple
and dared to leave them where they are?

[pre*chorus]
someone laid a siege
while all the knights were out in town
now all that’s left to do is watch
the brick come crumbling down

[chorus]
why don’t you bring on home
a bed of roses for the throne?
’cause no one’s left to guard the keep
besides the graves
why don’t you kneel on down
and give on up that pretty crown?
’cause no one’s kept the castle
and there’s nothing left to save
[verse 2]
can you hear the echoes moan
as the sunset fades to black?
beat your blood into the bones
of the fallen empire’s back
we never meant to fight here;
we kept the war at bay
by keeping all our problems down
’til it was all too late

[pre*chorus]
no one had to burn us down
we festered from inside
such a pretty picture of
courtyards filled with flies!

[chorus]
why don’t you bring on home
a bed of roses for the throne?
’cause no one’s left to guard the keep
besides the graves
why don’t you kneel on down
and give on up that pretty crown?
’cause no one’s kept the castle
and there’s nothing left to save
[bridge]
the kingdom has fallen!
the kingdom has fallen!
did we mean to come on home
to the love we used to have
when neither of us bothered
with the upkeep?
there is nothing we are owed
but the love we let go bad;
it’s no longer enough
to say you love me!

[outro]
the kingdom has fallen
the kingdom has fallen
