the soldiers standing on the shore
shake up their golden shields
you watch them from your room
in the distance on the shifting sea
a thousand coloured sails
is this the moment you made? is this the way that you planned?
you know it won't be long now
the finest treasures of kings
all of those precious things
so as you stood in the ruins
how could you dare to look on
the broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes
you remember how it used to be when you were just a girl
nothing really mattered then
how you used to hold your head so high
those days will never return
the finest treasures of kings
all of those precious things
so as you stood in the ruins
how could you dare to look on
as they burned for you.? mmm-hmm
the broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes
dust is drifting in the evening air
you hold will never tell.you turn your face away
the finest treasures of kings
all of those precious things
so as you stood in the ruins
how could you dare to look on
as they burned for you.? oh
the broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes
the broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes
