Song lyrics Quote by Black Veil Brides
“I ruled the world with these hands, I shook the Heavens to the ground I laid the gods to rest I held the key to the kingdom, lions guarding castle walls Hail the king of death Then I lost it all, dead and broken My back's against the wall Cut me open I'm just trying to breathe Just trying to figure it out Because I built these walls To watch them crumbling down I said Then I lost it all And who can save me now? I stood above another war, another jewel upon the crown I was the fear of man But I was blind, I couldn't see the world there right in front of me But now I can Yeah 'Cause I lost it all, dead and broken My back's against the wall Cut me open I'm just trying to breathe. Just trying to figure it out Because I built these walls To watch them crumbling down I said Then I lost it all Who can save me now? I believe that we all fall down sometimes Woah Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes? Woah I believe that we all fall down sometimes Woah. Yeah! Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes? Woah Yeah! I believe that we all fall down sometimes Yeah”
