[Verse 1] You set your cup beside the door The old clock gave a crooked chime A paper crown slid to the floor And dust came down like borrowed time [Pre-Chorus] The rafters split; the rafters cried You gripped the rail, but held your ground One bright blade cut the painted sky And every hidden thing came down [Chorus] The Tower falls, the truth walks in No velvet wall can keep it out What breaks tonight can’t cage your skin You find the door by going through the doubt [Verse 2] The king’s gold ring rolled through the dust Past broken glass and fallen stone You watched the throne give way to rust Then heard your own name, clear and known [Pre-Chorus] The rafters split; the rafters cried You gripped the rail, but held your ground One bright blade cut the painted sky And every hidden thing came down [Chorus] The Tower falls, the truth walks in No velvet wall can keep it out What breaks tonight can’t cage your skin You find the door by going through the doubt [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Don’t call the ruin a defeat The roots were strangled underneath Take one stone, set it aside Make a place where you can rise [Final Chorus] The Tower falls, the truth walks in No velvet wall can keep it out What breaks tonight can’t cage your skin You find the door by going through the doubt The Tower falls; you stand, you stand With open eyes and steady hands [Outro] The dawn finds dust across the floor You set your cup beside the door
