The trees, they're sitting still again,
the wind has long since died.
A distant look upon her face,
a shadow in her mind.
She's living life,
forgiving,
and she's trying to be kind,
but sometimes there's emotions,
that the face can never hide.
There's petals on the lawn again,
The roses ruffled,
now they're  still.
Inside her heart
she fills the void.
She battling her time to ****.
The trees, they're sitting still again,
until the winds return once more.
A heart that's never skipped a beat,
Is always gonna yearn for more.
King Kalibo sheds a tear.
Waits for Rita to appear.
Sits in pain
and waits all day.
Minutes, hours,
pass away.

Staring at the shaking walls,
waiting for his soul to fall.
Like a star falls,
in the night.
Slowly drifting
out of sight.

Through the ages
and the years.
Swollen smiles and swelling tears.
He learnt this life is just a game.
And no one lives
this life the same.

King Kalibo can't hang on,
Rita cried and now she's gone.
Castle crumbles
to the ground.
King Kalibo
can't be found.

Beneath the rubble,
lies a crown.
A broken heart,
a crying clown.
The earth absorbs remorseful tears.
A kingdom mourns with cautious fear.

Time shall tell,
what lies ahead.
Time will tell,
what had been said.
Words that slit a kingdoms throat,
dwell in the air, as tension floats.

Kalibo now,
no longer heard.
His words,
gone with the stolen herd.
Rita,
woman of betrayal.
In her quest she did not fail.

Standing tall,
forever rich.
Fated, to be no one's *****.
With her new life,
and her new love.
Still she fears, what waits above.

the ground doesn't seem that far from the roof
but how far is it when you're falling?
