Rivers of Rust

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the earth
Graves in the gutters
You drink your faith
From a cracked black gutter
Rust in your lungs
Ash on your tongue
Every quiet prayer
Hangs from a rope half-strung
[Chorus]
Rivers of rust
Pour from your crown
Kneel in the flood
Let it drag you down
No god
No dust
Just the grinding sound
Rivers of rust
Till you finally drown (drown!)
[Verse 2]
Thorns in your sleep
Nails in your laughter
You built your throne
On the bones of disaster
Mirror all fog
Eyes eaten hollow
Footprints of fear
Are the only tracks you follow
[Chorus]
Rivers of rust
Pour from your crown
Kneel in the flood
Let it drag you down
No god
No dust
Just the grinding sound
Rivers of rust
Till you finally drown (down, down)
[Bridge]
[Halftime stomp
Drums and chugs]
Crawl
On broken knees
Call
But nothing breathes
Claw
Your own face clean
Raw
From the rot you bleed (yeah!)
[Chorus]
Rivers of rust
Pour from your crown
Kneel in the flood
Let it drag you down
No god
No trust
Only corroded vows
Rivers of rust
Are all that’s left of you now

metal, Blistering death metal, male vocals with layered low growls and occasional higher screams. Guitars in a brutal tremolo assault over relentless double-kick barrages; bass locked tight and grinding. Verses stay claustrophobic and palm-muted, choruses open into wide, dissonant chords. Brief halftime breakdown in the bridge with a massive tom-heavy groove before a final all-out blast., death metal
