Castle Rock
סֶלַע הַטִּירָה
In a hall of marble and gilded light
They strike a pose in the velvet night
Sitting tall on a celestial throne
Drinking deep from a cup of stone
They chase the shadow of power and fame
Counting the echoes that call their name
Wrapped in the prestige, parading in the crown
Celebrating the love that they have found
Some drink deep from the sovereign cup
Watching the world while looking up
While others reach for the open sky
Building the dreams that never die!
Crowns of gold or castles of air—
Tell me, child, which throne is there?
Beyond the walls where the courtiers stand
Are the dreamers carving a different land
Not bound by earth, not bound by stone
They carve a legacy all their own
They lay their bricks in the shifting cloud
Daring to rise above the crowd
Leaving a mark that the wind can't hide
Driven by fire, burning inside
Some drink deep from the sovereign cup
Watching the world while looking up
While others reach for the open sky
Building the dreams that never die!
Crowns of gold or castles of air—
Tell me, child, which throne is there?
Two paths winding through the dark
One seeks the throne, one sparks the arc
One wants the glory of the present day
One builds a kingdom that won't decay
It's a personal fight, a quiet decree
What kind of king do you want to be?
Some drink deep from the sovereign cup
Watching the world while looking up
While others reach for the open sky
Building the dreams that never die!
Crowns of gold or castles of air—
Tell me, child, which throne is there?
Castles in the sky...
Or the golden cup...
Who holds the crown?
Who holds the crown when the sun goes down
