when kingdoms fall on solid ground

this sand beneath my feet

but walls contain the broken hearts and minds of love's defeat

upon this grave

i choose to stand

i choose to hold the nail

upon your face the pain beside

and nothing's left for you to reach



and i'm nearer now to what i've found

this hope i cannot see

and i'll fall before my God and drown

but i'll never bow to me



when glory fades on fallen ground

this rock beneath my feet

no walls contain these broken hearts

no talk of love's defeat

upon your name

i choose to fall

i choose to drop the nail

upon your face the smile beside

and everything's within your reach
