[Verse 1]
Born in the fault line
Teeth in the cradle of war
Blood in the handwriting
On walls they pretended to ignore
Half-breed in a holy town
Halo held up with nails
Smile like a funeral
Laughing as the daylight pales
[Chorus]
I am the cut between heaven and hell
Too dark to be saved
Too bright to be felled
Raise up your saints
Let them shatter and crash
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
I am the crack in the kingdom you kiss
The son of your secret you wish to dismiss
Pray to your crown while you choke on the past
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
[Verse 2]
Chained to a scripture
That never once mentioned my name
Still I hear whispers
Blame me for all of your blame
You kneel
But your hands are stained
Rusted with everything done
I walk on your broken faith
Calm as an eclipse of the sun
[Chorus]
I am the cut between heaven and hell
Too dark to be saved
Too bright to be felled
Raise up your saints
Let them shatter and crash
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
I am the crack in the kingdom you kiss
The son of your secret you wish to dismiss
Pray to your crown while you choke on the past
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to tom groove
Guitars drone low]
Call me curse
Call me proof
Call me every buried truth
Light that scars
Skin and stone
I was never yours to own (never yours)
[Chorus]
I am the cut between heaven and hell
Too dark to be saved
Too bright to be felled
Raise up your saints
Let them shatter and crash
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
I am the crack in the kingdom you kiss
The son of your secret you wish to dismiss
Pray to your crown while you choke on the past
You built your thrones
Thrones made of ash
[Outro]
[Band hits on every word
Then ring-out]
Thrones made of ash
Thrones made of ash
Thrones made of ash (hey)
