I see the walls of black and gold
And though the faces here look kind
I know the secrets that they hold
Each one is playing their cards close
And all of them have stories that will probably never be told
Have you heard of the man with the mask
Or the great ruler who one day finally snapped and he blew all that he'd made to kingdom come
Have you heard of the kid who led men into war
Or the tale of the un-killable warrior
These legends all were so much more than rhymes once upon a time
I see the ocean down below
I'm flying in the night
I touch the sky
The stars are just so close
I search for hours in the snow
Longing for a feeling that I felt when I was home
Have you heard of the man with the mask
Or the kid who wished that he could take it all back
Would've never done what he'd done if he'd known
Have you heard of the ghost that would melt in the rain
Or the girl who had nothing to lose, just to gain
These legends all were so much more than rhymes once upon a time
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
I see obsidian and smoke
The ashes that still linger here are traces of what once was home
We lost
But the story must get told
One of power, friendship, and betrayal
A tale as old as time
Oh
Once upon a time
Once upon a time I saw the walls of black and gold
Oh
