When the day turned into night
When the stars run out of light
Will you be there to sing my song
I call your name
To maybe shield the flame
Cause the night is dark and long
In the kingdom of the visible
In the kingdom of the sun
Was a man who saw the years go by
He was always on the run
And the clock ticks fast for everyone
Father time wins every race
And the kingdom of the fading sun
It'll pass without a trace
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere
There's a small black hole inside my heart
And it's just the size of you
And the road goes on forevermore
And we will turn to dust
Holding on to hope against the hope
While the silence rages on
We would like to try to shield the flame
While we climb a burning rope
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere
When the day turned into night
When the stars run out of light
Will you be there to sing my song
I call your name
To maybe shield the flame
Cause the night is dark and long
