[Intro]
Iron wakes beneath the stone
A sealed mouth speaks my name
[Verse 1]
You built a throne from borrowed bones
And called the cage a crown
I tasted dust between my teeth
Then dragged the ceiling down
Black hands turn the ancient lock
The buried engine starts
Every shackle learns to sing
When hunger enters hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you hear the mountain breathing?
Do you feel the floor give way?
What you chained beneath your kingdom
Has outlived your reign today
[Chorus]
I am the mouth behind the altar
I am the weight that breaks the gate
Feed me your fear, your hollow order
I will devour what you create
No chain can hold me
No seal can bind
Your little empire
Falls inside my mind
[Verse 2]
The warding glass begins to sweat
The runes collapse like flies
A thousand locked and watching eyes
Forget which side survives
I pull the thunder through my ribs
And wear the storm as skin
The more you beg for mercy's hand
The deeper I descend
[Breakdown]
Kneel
To the pressure
Breathe
Through the fracture
Chain by chain
The world comes loose
I choose
I choose
I choose
[Chorus]
I am the mouth behind the altar
I am the weight that breaks the gate
Feed me your fear, your hollow order
I will devour what you create
No chain can hold me
No seal can bind
Your little empire
Falls inside my mind
[Bridge]
Open the door you feared to name
Let every forbidden current flood the frame
If souls are coins, then spend them all
I’ll turn the heavens into a wall
[Final Chorus]
I am the hand beneath the ocean
I am the spell that eats the sun
Every command becomes devotion
Every locked heart comes undone
No chain can hold me
No god can steer
I leave the throne empty
And make the silence hear
[Outro]
Iron sleeps beneath the stone
But something else is awake
