## Lyrics
[verse]
Torches climb the tapestry of stone
Shadows kneel before a silver throne
Painted knights along the ancient wall
Whisper secrets no one can recall

[chorus]
In the hall where the old king reigns
Time is carved in golden chains
Every echo bends and bows
Underneath the mellotron's slow vows

[verse]
Jesters dance where prophecy was sung
Crowns of ivy on a lord so young
Rivers freeze beneath the wounded moon
Waiting for a long forgotten tune

[chorus]
In the hall where the old king reigns
Time is carved in golden chains
Every echo bends and bows
Underneath the mellotron's slow vows

[bridge]
Stone by stone the kingdom falls asleep
Dreams of empire buried cold and deep
Still the fire burns behind the glass
Guarding what the ages couldn't pass

[chorus]
In the hall where the old king reigns
Time is carved in golden chains
Every echo bends and bows
Underneath the mellotron's slow vows
