Deep inside these castle walls There lives a heart of stone Decorated splendid halls Surround his glorious throne For thy kingdom come his will be done Hell hath no fury like him scorned Nothing can save his soul Condemned to burn, yeah! Deep in the heart of his domain His people live in fear Though shield and sword protect his reign He's longing to be revered He carries on like nothing's wrong Builds up the barricades Behind his masquerade On, when hope is gone No-one, round here's gonna save him Fear of futures made of glass Building empires that won't last Fear of the future trapped in the past Welcome to the kingdom of solitude Deep in the night were deathly black Sings hallowed be thy name Though the silence is killing him He's a songbird for it's refrain He carries on like nothing's wrong Builds up the barricades Behind his masquerade On, when hope is gone No-one, round here's gonna save him Fear of futures made of glass Building empires that won't last Fear of the future trapped in the past Welcome to the kingdom of solitude Fear of futures made of glass Building empires that won't last Fear of the future trapped in the past Welcome to the kingdom Watch the empire hit the ground Scream but no-one hears a sound Build them up to let them down Welcome to the kingdom of solitude Oh, solitude Yeah, yeah, yeah Welcome to the kingdom of solitude Scream but no-one hears a sound Welcome to the kingdom of solitude Build them up to watch you tear them down
