Names upon a stone, standing still 
They scream in dark light, hollow sounds 
Wicked games they played in the winter chill 
And pierced the city walls tonight 

In this old world, time is standing still 

Chains around a chair, ring on the floor 
Burned to the ground, bright as dawn 
Riches betrayed, knowledge decayed 
And breeched the royal halls, tonight 

In this old world, time is standing still 

Once upon a time, in a distant story 
Vanishing faces one by one 
Marching to the drum of a little revenge 
And never to be seen when the time has come 

In this old world, time is standing still...
