Qxotica - Ruler's Lament Lyrics

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
