[Verse 1]

One by one they fell

The walls could not control

The mob too strong to quell

A storm too large to hold

[Pre-Chorus]

And a kingdom of bliss

It was gone with a hiss

Late at night, close my eyes

All alone, reminisce

[Chorus]

Of when I owned a city

That towered over trees

So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars

And all you could see

And in there stood a castle

With a solid gold throne

Where I sat at the top of the world

The king of boxes and stone

Of boxes and stone

[Verse 2]

The haunting glow within

Coal embers burning bright

And each breath of the wind

Reminds me of the time

[Pre-Chorus]

When a kingdom of bliss

It was gone with a hiss

Late at night close my eyes

All alone reminisce

[Chorus]

Of when I owned a city

That towered over trees

So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars

And all you could see

And in there stood a castle

With a solid gold throne

Where I sat at the top of the world

The king of boxes and stone

Of boxes and stone

[Verse 3]

In the dark by the torchlight

Forge the tools that I need

To assemble to the walls that fall

Each night inside of my dreams

And so I’ll keep on stacking

Blocks on top of blocks still

Because if I don’t build myself a giant city

Who will?

[Chorus]

And I will build a city

That towers over trees

So big it blocks the sun, the moon, the stars

And all you could see

And there will stand a castle

With a solid gold throne

Where I’ll sit at the top of the world

The king of boxes and stone

Of boxes and stone

[Outro]

Of boxes and stone
