00:16In the silence of the ruins
00:20She walks where lovers used to stand
00:23Golden hair like dying sunlight
00:27Blue eyes searching empty land
00:31She turned away from our foot shelter
00:35Chose the wild and open sky
00:39Now the gates are closed forever
00:42And the footsteps fade and die
00:47She ran toward the distant thunder
00:52Chased the freedom of the storm
00:55Left the quiet harbor empty
00:59Where the heart once kept her warm
01:03No prince to savor
01:07The rider turned and rode away
01:12Only silence wraps around her
01:16At the closing of the day
01:20She wears her independence proudly
01:23Like a crown of autumn leaves
01:27No prince to savor
01:31And the lonely evening breeze
01:42Porcelain skin in twilight fading
01:46Tears that trace the path she chose
01:50Lips that whispered words of power
01:53Now tremble as the cold wind blows
01:57The gown of white hangs torn and fragile
02:01Slipping softly from her shoulder
02:05A silhouette of strength and sorrow
02:09Growing distant, growing colder
02:13She built her throne on shifting seasons
02:18Painted dreams that couldn't last
02:22Now the castle halls are hollow
02:25And the future fades to pass
02:30And the future fades to pass
02:31No prince to savor
02:33And the lonely evening breeze
02:35The rider turned and rode away
02:38Only silence wraps around her
02:42At the closing of the day
02:46She wears her independence proudly
02:50Like a crown of autumn leaves
02:54No prince to savor
02:57And the lonely evening breeze
03:03Oh, where are the arms that waited for her?
03:12Where is the voice that called her home?
03:20She stands among the fallen petals
03:24Of the garden left alone
03:32No prince to savor
03:36The last light slips into the grave
03:40Blue eyes drowning in the quiet of
03:44The choice she made that day
03:48She was the dream
03:50She was the dream
03:50The old tales promised
03:52Now a ghost in fading gold
03:55No prince to savor
04:01Only silence
04:04Growing cold
04:11The kingdom fades
04:17Into the sound of silence
