**Round of 32 Winning Song** ** my interpretation of meat loaf ** The dust is settling thick upon the iron gates And silence screams much louder than the storm outside I’m pacing through the wreckage of these hollow dates With nothing but a memory where the spirit died I’m prisoner and master of the endless night Counting up the battles that I never really won They told me time would blunt the jagged edge But centuries are seconds when you're waiting in the dark I'm standing on the precipice, I'm dancing on the ledge! Now I am the King of Nothing on a throne of grey Screaming at the shadows to bring back yesterday If death is just a door, then let me break the lock ‘Cause living without you is just watching the clock... stop! The portrait in the hallway watches how I age While you remain perfection in a frame of gold I turn the book of history and tear out every page That tells me I am mortal while your story remains told I’d trade this immortality for one breath of your air I’d burn this fortress down if I could find you standing there! Now I am the King of Nothing on a throne of grey Screaming at the shadows to bring back yesterday If death is just a door, then let me break the lock ‘Cause living without you is just watching the clock... stop! Do you hear me in the void? Do you see me on my knees? I am begging the wind! I am bargaining with the freeze! Come back! I am the King of Nothing on a throne of grey Screaming at the shadows to bring back yesterday If death is just a door, then let me break the lock ‘Cause living without you is just watching the clock... stop. It stops.
