Bosphorus Traplude

Lost in the dust of a city that never sleeps

Promises made are the secrets we keep

We build the fire,

we watch it rise

No turning back under these heavy skies (watch it rise,

watch it rise)

Gold on the crown but the weight is on my mind Run

from the shadow that we left behind (hah)

Step in the circle,

I make my own rules Sifting the gold from the dust of

the fools They talk of the empire,

they talk of the throne But I built this castle of mortar

and stone (yeah, all alone,

watch me work)

Gold on the crown but the weight is on my mind Run

from the shadow that we left behind

(hah,

let it ride)

Only the dust remains

in the end (ahhhh)
