Lyrics
Castle Built On Sand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No-one seems to know the truth
How he disappeared from view
He's overcome with guilt
Hiding in a castle built
on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
Built on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
Standing at the Traitor's Gate
Masked men on horses wait
For their chance to infiltrate
And take the castle built...
on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
Built on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
See the jackals fightin' for the caucus
On a constant search for green and pastures
No-one seems to know the truth
How he disappeared from view
He's overcome with guilt
Hiding in a castle built
on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
Built on sand (oo oooo oo oo)
Built on sand
