[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Footsteps echo
Cold stone hall
Every move measured
Back to the wall
[Verse 1]
Black coat drag on the marble
Gold teeth flash in the dark like a barcode
Hands still stained from the last throne I carved up
Name on the deed to the grave of the last one
Whispers follow when I slide through the back door
Dead eyes stare from the frame, that’s decor
All my scars line up like a barcode
Every one earned in a long war, hardcore
[Chorus]
Throne in the shadows
Crown made of fear
You can pray for a halo
But it’s hell up in here
If you came for a battle
Better make that clear
‘Cause a throne in the shadows
Got you choking on tears
[Verse 2]
Steel in the cuff, little weight on the wrist
That’s comfort
I don’t rush rage, I conduct it
One cold nod, whole room goes silent
I don’t need volume to start up a riot
You want smoke? I’ve been breathing in poison
Turned every loss to a violent appointment
No sun, just the glow from the gold on my collarbone
Say my name once, feel the chill in your father’s home
[Chorus]
