[Verse 1]

You've lost the feeling, the feeling in your fingers

You've lost the fight against the threads you cannot see

I stand beneath you to see the open window

To see the light pour in

[Chorus]

Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more

Your crown is broken and glitters in the frost

And you're more than silence lost

[Verse 2]

I trace a finger across your mighty heartwood

And count the years that you were leaning to the sun

For soon your kingdom will turn into a garden

With ramsons in full bloom

[Chorus]

Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more

Your crown is broken and glitters in the frost

And you're more than silence lost

Than silence lost

Than silence lost

[Outro]

Will we remember the feeling in our fingers?

You're more than silence lost

You're more than silence lost

Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more
