[Intro]
Candles gutter
Throne of stone
Blood-warm chalice
Carved from bone
[Verse 1]
Black hour strikes
And the moon bends down
Kiss the ring
Let it stain your mouth
Crimson oath
On a torn black crown
You are ash
Till I call you out
[Pre-Chorus]
Step through the gate where the stars hang low
Hear the dead choirs hum in your throat
Feel your heartbeat grind into gold
As your mortal name lets go
[Chorus]
Join the Vampire King as family
Wear the night like royal skin
We will drink the sky
Tear reality
‘Til the heavens crack and thin
Take the throne of teeth and tragedy
Let the old world choke and sing
Raise your hands
Your fangs
Your blasphemy
Sworn in blood to the Vampire King
[Verse 2]
Storm of wings
Over shattered spires
Haloed prey
Draped in holy fire
Rip that light
From their tender veins
Turn their hymns
Into iron chains
[Pre-Chorus]
Taste that fear in their silver bones
Hear their halos splinter and fold
Every prayer just feeds our cold
As the seraphs fall like snow
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low male vocal register]
Bring them down
By the roots of dawn
Crack their crowns
Leave the thrones all torn
[soaring female vocal]
Take their breath
Turn their grace to stone
Ripping divine flesh
From heavenly bone
[Breakdown]
Gods in our claws
Let the angels scream (scream!)
Pull down the sun
Make it bow and bleed
Feast on their storms
Till the thunder kneels
Every last myth
Under broken heels
[Chorus]
