[Verse 1]
Golden throne
Built on busted speakers
You lean down
Say my secret name
Ink runs hot
On the page between us
Your crooked crown
Glows like open flame
"Close your eyes"
You whisper like a promise
"Sign right here
I make the hunger fade"
Tip of the pen
Right over my heartbeat
Every letter
Is another chain
[Chorus]
Devil King
Devil King
Give me your soul
Endless power for the price you stole
Contract binding your mind so tight
Angel girl
Hold me till the endless night
[Verse 2]
Angel girl
With the chipped white halo
Torn jean wings
Dragging in the dust
You grab my wrist
See the mark still burning
You say
"That fire
Don’t look like trust"
You pull me back
From the red horizon
Your cool hand
Over all that rage
"You’re not a pawn
In his painted kingdom"
And your tears
Wash across the page
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Red ink
Black sky
Name carved in the dark
Hear him laughing
Just behind my heart
But your voice
Cuts through like a siren spark
You kiss the curse
And it falls apart
[crescendo]
Crowns can crack
When the choir screams
You raise your fist
Over burning dreams
You say
"Walk with me
Leave his throne behind"
And the chains snap loose
One link at a time
[Chorus]
