[Verse 1]
I walk in black dust, grave soil on my boots
Cold hand on the helm, now the dead salute
Mouth full of ash, I speak, they arise
Bone-lace army in the pits of my eyes
Skeleton line up, teeth click in time
Zombies on the flank with the moonless grind
Vampires in the vault, fangs red with thirst
Wraiths in the wind, make the ceiling burst
Mummies from the sand with the gold-thread wrap
I drag the old curse and I throw it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that dirge roll low
Ground split, let it go
Names of the buried, I call them home
One dark king on a throne of bone
[Chorus]
Bone crown, bone crown
Burn this kingdom down
Bone crown, bone crown
Hear the dead come loud
Bone crown, bone crown
I don't kneel, I command
Bone crown, bone crown
End the world in my hand
[Verse 2]
Undead dragon circling over the keep
Ribs like iron bars, fire in the deep
Claw marks carving runes in the storm
Night got teeth and my curse got more
Crypt-born riders with the spears held high
Black flags snapping where the ravens fly
Every corpse got a pulse when I speak that name
Every shattered altar lights up with pain
Castle walls shake, let the banners fold
I turn fear to steel and I turn steel cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that dirge roll low
Ground split, let it go
Names of the buried, I call them home
One dark king on a throne of bone
[Chorus]
Bone crown, bone crown
Burn this kingdom down
Bone crown, bone crown
Hear the dead come loud
Bone crown, bone crown
I don't kneel, I command
Bone crown, bone crown
End the world in my hand
[Bridge]
When the dawn tries to rise, I bury it deep
When the brave say my name, they shiver and leak
The vaults open wide, and the tombs all sing
I made a war from the rust in a ring
Now take my sigil, carve it in stone
I came with the dead, and I came for the throne
[Final Chorus]
Bone crown, bone crown
Burn this kingdom down
Bone crown, bone crown
Hear the dead come loud
Bone crown, bone crown
I don't kneel, I command
Bone crown, bone crown
End the world in my hand
