lyrics

When the world was younger, and the oceans took their hold
The creatures that rose from it would make your blood run cold
No sun in the summer, No midnight winter moon
In the dark they do their running and we’re taken far too soon

We once thought you mighty
We had thought you brave
But the light that you reflected
Took more than it gave

We hoped the sun would starve them, And scare them all away
But we can't stop it from setting, Oh the nighttime is their day
Is there no great savior, No mighty man of war
Do the gods hate our behavior, for it seems we’ll never settle the score

We once thought you mighty
We had thought you brave
But the light that you reflected
Took more than it gave

We once thought you mighty
We had thought you brave
But the light that you created
Took more than it gave

Then the strangest story, A child against them all
Holding a flower with glory and the creatures met their fall
It seems the little things, the overlooked, afraid
Were chosen to topple kingdoms,
And the creatures, they would fade away

We all knew you mighty, we were not so brave
But a little flower would end you, send you to your grave
We all feared you mighty, We were all your slaves
But the light so imitated sent you to your graves

Place the sun upon my door
Place the sun upon my door
Place the sun upon my door
Place the sun upon my door
