[Intro]
[low choir swell
Distant bell toll]
Shattered crown on a bed of bones
Blood-red feathers in the snow
Two shadows at the gallows rope
Breathing smoke
Breathing war
[Verse 1]
He crawled out of broken comets
Ash in his lungs
Wings of scars
Tattooed scripture on his fingers
Cursing every faded star
She walks in a rusted chapel
Halo cracked like stained glass ice
Tongue of venom
Eyes of embers
Kisses shaped like sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Fall with me”
I said
“Burn it clean”
Every oath we break
Feeds the quake beneath
[Chorus]
We are thrones in ashes
Crowned in the ruin we chose
Dark Nephilim and Ambrosia
Dragging heaven by the throat
Let the seraphs tremble
Let their trumpets choke
We were forged in black horizons
We’re the plague inside their hope (inside their hope)
[Verse 2]
He laughs where the sky is bleeding
Boot prints trampling holy names
Rips the pages from their gospels
Feeds them to the faithful flames
She carves sigils in the marble
With a smile
With a sneer
Turns their wine to blackened poison
Whispers war into their fear
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Sing with me”
I said
“Scream it deep”
Every sacred lie
Is a seed we’ll reap
[Chorus]
We are thrones in ashes
Crowned in the ruin we chose
Dark Nephilim and Ambrosia
Dragging heaven by the throat
Let the seraphs tremble
Let their trumpets choke
We were forged in black horizons
We’re the plague inside their hope (yeah)
[Bridge]
[music drops to half-time
Whispered duet]
He: I am famine in their sunlight
She: I am rot beneath their gold
He: I am rust upon their armor
She: I am truth they can’t behold
Together: We are teeth around the altar
We are storms beneath their skin
Every prayer that tastes like sugar
Turns to gravel on their lips again (again)
[Chorus]
We are thrones in ashes
Crowned in the ruin we chose
Dark Nephilim and Ambrosia
Dragging heaven by the throat
Let the seraphs tremble
Let their trumpets choke
From the marrow of creation
We will grind their perfect hope
[Outro]
[guitars ring out
Drums hit in slow crashes]
Two dark wings
Crossed in fire
No more gods
Only pyres
