[Verse 1]
Steel sky
Ash in my hair
I carve my name
In a cracked black chair
You built this cage
Out of guilt and prayer
Tied my hands
To your favorite nightmare
[Chorus]
On this throne of despair
I wear your ghosts like a crown I can’t bear
Every scar is a vow you tore
I won’t bleed for you anymore
On this throne of despair
I set your kingdom on fire
I swear
Watch your idols melt and fade
I am the ruin you made
[Verse 2]
Teeth grind
Rust in my veins
You fed me rules
You called them chains
You preached control
Then you disappeared
Now your echo shakes
But I feel no fear (yeah)
[Chorus]
On this throne of despair
I wear your ghosts like a crown I can’t bear
Every scar is a vow you tore
I won’t bleed for you anymore
On this throne of despair
I set your kingdom on fire
I swear
Watch your idols melt and fade
I am the ruin you made
[Bridge]
Bow?
Never again
I tear your flag
From under my skin
Kneel?
I’d rather choke
Break my back
On my own damn yoke
[Breakdown]
I’m not your son
Not your slave (hey!)
Drag your lies down into the grave
All your rules
All your hate
Crushed beneath my rising weight
[Chorus]
On this throne of despair
I wear your ghosts like a crown I can’t bear
Every scar is a vow you tore
I won’t bleed for you anymore
On this throne of despair
I set your kingdom on fire
I swear
Watch your idols melt and fade
I am the ruin you made
I am the ruin you made
