[Intro]
Candle smoke
Iron taste
Shadows crawl
Across my face
[Verse 1]
Claws on the ceiling
Whispering prayers in reverse
Ash on the cradle
Every blessing turned to curse
Eyes in the doorway
Counting every guilty breath
Clock hands melting
Keeping time with every death
[Chorus]
I wear this throne of the living nightmare
Crowned in screams that echo in my chest
If hell is real it lives inside me
I am the wound that never rests
Drag me deeper
Darker
Faster
Through the fire I won’t retire
I was born for burning weather
On the throne of the living nightmare
[Verse 2]
Teeth in the scripture
Bleeding ink across the page
Tongues speaking static
Feeding fever into rage
Chains start singing
As they tighten ‘round my will
Halo of vermilion
Glowing bright and standing still
[Chorus]
I wear this throne of the living nightmare
Crowned in screams that echo in my chest
If hell is real it lives inside me
I am the wound that never rests
Drag me deeper
Darker
Faster
Through the fire I won’t retire
I was born for burning weather
On the throne of the living nightmare
[Bridge]
Kneel in the furnace (hey!)
Every sin a sharpening blade
If the gods won’t grant me mercy
I’ll become the storm they made
[Chorus]
I wear this throne of the living nightmare
Crowned in screams that echo in my chest
If hell is real it lives inside me
I am the wound that never rests
Drag me deeper
Darker
Faster
Through the fire I won’t retire
I was born for burning weather
On the throne of the living nightmare
