Look What I Lost

I walked through the valley with iron in my chest
I took every arrow, never stopped to rest
I burned every bridge just to light up your way
Believing the promise of another day

I carried the banners through fire and rain
I held every shield against all of your pain
I gave up the kingdom to stand by your side
With nothing to hide and no place to hide

Now the horses are quiet, the battlefield cold
The stories are over, the prophecy told
You look through my eyes like you never knew me
And walk from the ruins so careless and free

I fought like an ancient hero for your love
I stood against mountains and skies up above
I took every wound and I paid every cost
I fought like a hero, but look what I lost

The castle is empty, the armor is rust
The promises gathered and turned into dust
You kept all your secrets and carried your crown
While watching the walls that we built tumbling down

I fought like an ancient hero for your love
I stood against mountains and skies up above
I took every wound and I paid every cost
I fought like a hero, but look what I lost

Was it glory you wanted, or blood in the sand?
I left all my gold in the palm of your hand
Now the morning is rising on cold open stone
And the bravest survivor is waking alone

I fought like an ancient hero for your love
I stood against mountains and skies up above
I took every wound and I paid every cost
I fought like a hero, but look what I lost

I fought like an ancient hero for your love
I stood against mountains and skies up above
I took every wound and I paid every cost
I fought like a hero, but look what I lost
