Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tracing fallen columns
Heat used to be
Dwelling on bottom
Heartbroken seas
Once above a temple
Admired in flames
Dancing in passion
Fire yesterday
Secrets buried beneath
You got swept off your feet
Rising tides quenched all that burned
Lights of hope dim and leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty promises in empty hands
Built it high, then it slipped away
Held forever in shifting sand
Nothing stays when the tide rolls in
[Chorus]
Castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Nothing but castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Building forever
On shifting ground
Building a never
With no one around
[Verse 2]
Born out of ashes
Born out of ashes
A new love home
Solid foundation
In forever stone
But the wind came crawling
Through every crack
What you swore was sacred
Could not hold back
Empty promises in empty hands
You left me there with the rain
All that glitter, all that plans
Gone before I knew your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty promises in empty hands
Built it high, then it slipped away
Held forever in shifting sand
Nothing stays when the tide rolls in
[Chorus]
Castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Nothing but castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Building forever
On shifting ground
Building a never
With no one around
[Bridge]
Let me be your phoenix flame
Warming wind to fuel love again
So you can feel again
So you can live again
Let the broken pieces fall
Let the shoreline take it all
[Final Chorus]
Castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Nothing but castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
[Final Chorus]
Castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Nothing but castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
Empty promises in empty hands
Nothing but castles in the sand
Wash away, castles in the sand
Castles in the sand
