[Verse 1] Her kingdom stands proud in the heart of the land Her beauty stands beyond compare What would it take for me to take her hand? For no mortal could match her eyes so fair Behold the dark web of my twisted schemes and plans To claim what none before me would dare To make the whole world finally understand To prove that I deserve her love and care [Verse 2] With sword in hand I crossed her kingdom's gates And left her father's throne in flames I knew my victory was sealed by fate All the leaders would tremble at my name Her father fell down helpless to his knees Gone was his glory, I claimed the throne I asked her hand and offered her my peace Yet in her eyes I saw a heart of stone [Pre-Chorus] "I won't wed the man whose hands are stained with my father's blood Unless a thousand temples bloom from blood-soaked mud Before the night is gone Before the dawn" [Chorus] I'd build a thousand temples to make you mine I'd build a thousand stars if the sun won't shine Can I make it in time, oh, can I? Can I make it in time, oh, can I? [Verse 3] I called upon the spirits of the otherworld A thousand temples would rise, unfurled I bade them raise the structures stone by stone And soon she would be my very own [Pre-Chorus] "I shall deceive the foolish, wretched souls who serve his pride With fire and sound, that arrogant man won't make me his bride Come, end the night Come the light" [Chorus] I'd build a thousand temples to make you mine I'd build a thousand stars if the sun won't shine Am I running out of time, oh, am I? Am I running out of time, oh, am I? [Bridge] The eastern sky was stained with red The spirits fled as dawn lay spread My thousand temples stood incomplete Her cunning brought me to defeat You cursed me with your wicked art And drove your dagger through my heart If I cannot have you, no one else could If stone is all you can claim, then you should Be one
