Maison Gris

I hear the cries through the walls
sit and watch as empires fall around me
Through eternity
A time so long never seemed so much to me

In another time when this guilt would’ve never been a sign
I hear the cries through the walls
I hear the cries through the walls

You asked who I adored
The royal family or the poor
I knew you’d never see
Neither ever meant that much to me

In another time when this pain would’ve never been so kind
I hear the cries through the walls
I hear the cries through the walls

Tried to convince my self
That this life offered something more than hell
You turned to me and said
The only free men are the dead
In a another time when you words would have never been so kind
I hear the cries through the walls
I hear the cries through the walls
