Ruler's Lament

Crushed under the weight Of 20000 leagues Watching shifting sands Pulling castles out to sea Brand new eyes awaken The buzz has faded out Completely exposed Chest open under a surgeon's light This golden bridge is burning I've lost my way back home What I wouldn't give to see The reckoning the outcome But I was not desperate then Just to give up to give up all I've ever known On a hope that on a guess that you Could be true I was not ready then I was not desperate then Earth wind and fire They come to test my works What I wouldn't give to see What I wouldn't give to see But I was not desperate then Just to give up to give up all I've ever known On a hope that on a guess that you Could be true I was not ready then I was not desperate then I was not desperate then I was not desperate then
