Rumor had it that the war was over
Hard to believe when it was everything we knew
Thought we weren't the type to lay the sword down
Thought they weren't the type to make a truce
But what about the stallion on the waterfront?
You said that we could take it as an olive branch
And bring it to the temple as a sacrifice
And I'll admit that sounded fine
But then I said
Tell me if there's more
Tell me if there's more than meets the eye
For all I know the villain's hidden deep inside
It could be holy or malicious
How would I ever know the difference
Legend tells us that a cunning wizard
Wanted to cast a spell upon the holy town
But an unexpected hindrance would interrupt his mission
When a callout from his donkey talked him down
But the wizard knew the power of a lesser love
If magic can't unravel them then presents could
They'll open up the castle, let the ghosts inside
It's a shame you two were so alike
Tell me if there's more
Tell me if there's more than meets the eye
Say I didn't take a phantom for a bride
Can I suffocate my conscience
Long enough to listen to your doctrine
Tell me if there's more
Tell me if there's more you haven't said
Tell me if this counsel ends in life or death
Why would I ever need the Scriptures
If you can let me know the difference
Woke up to panic at the stroke of midnight
And there was bedlam where our home had been
The palace was burning and ravaged
The window was shattered by the men you ushered in
Ashamed to say I didn't know you well enough
Ashamed to say I didn't put defenses up
Was it cause I'm pious or I'm gullible
Or was it trust that made me vulnerable
It was the perfect way to threaten me
Cause I wanted your approval more than anything
Even though that promise is deceiving
All I want is to believe it
Tell me that there's more
Tell me that there's more than meets the eye
Tell me everything you ever told me was a lie
You made the sacred sacrilegious
And I should have known the difference
Tell me that there's more
Tell me that there's more, tell me that there's more
Everything we built together's going up in smoke
I gave my kingdom for a wooden horse
I guess that's how the mighty fall
