Marble Arch is a white Carrara marble monument that now stands on a large traffic island at the junction of Oxford Street, Park Lane, and Edgware Road, almost directly opposite Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park in London, England. Until 1851 it stood in front of Buckingham Palace.
Historically, only members of the royal family and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, have been allowed to pass through the arch in ceremonial procession.
The name "Marble Arch" also refers to the locality in west London where the arch is situated, particularly, the southern portion of Edgware Road. There also is an underground station named after it.
The arch was designed in 1825 by John Nash as ceremonial entrance to the courtyard of the new Buckingham Palace, which he was then rebuilding from the former Buckingham House. The palace, as designed by Nash, was laid out around three sides of the courtyard., with the Marble Arch placed on its open, eastern side.
End of words the truth you can't deny
Seems like foes always breathe a lie
So you slipped away, another day will stress your fall
You try to find comfort in that bitter role
You concede the time is tearing
In those tears you strive to disguise
Is this silence reappearing,
or are you slowly disappearing?
Always calm as the state you do achieve
Bitter and weak, same old frown you wear again
And so you lose it all, a total collapse, a complete relapse
A normal night, trade your days for one normal night
You concede the time is tearing
In those tears you strive to disguise
Is this silence reappearing,
