[Verse 1]
Step in the smoke with the iron stare
Boots on the gravel, I’m already there
Cold on my skin, got a throne of scars
Names get small when I rip through bars
Black in the lens and the room goes still
One wrong move and it’s over, real
I been buried deep, now the ground gonna crack
Hear that slow roll? That’s the war drum back
[Pre-Chorus]
Shut the gates, let the old blood rise
See the flame in the dead man’s eyes
Say my name like a warning call
I don’t bend, I don’t kneel, I don’t fall
[Chorus]
Arise, the god of war
Arise, the god of war
Break that seal, open that door
Arise, the god of war (war)
[Verse 2]
Hands in the dirt where the bones still sleep
I take what’s mine from the depths of deep
Gold on my teeth and a curse in my chest
Every wound on my back just built my best
I came through storm with a broken crown
Made my peace with the burn to the ground
Now when I move, better clear that lane
I don’t chase fear, I make it change
[Pre-Chorus]
Shut the gates, let the old blood rise
See the flame in the dead man’s eyes
Say my name like a warning call
I don’t bend, I don’t kneel, I don’t fall
[Chorus]
Arise, the god of war
Arise, the god of war
Break that seal, open that door
Arise, the god of war (war)
[Bridge]
I was sleep in the ash, now I’m awake
Whole world tremble when the dark tectonic shake
From the last broken vow to the final blow
I was made for the clash, now watch it show
[Final Chorus]
Arise, the god of war
Arise, the god of war
Break that seal, open that door
Arise, the god of war (war)
