[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Crown made of rust
Pillars collapsing
Teeth in the dust (ugh)
[Verse 1]
Babies cry in broken temples
Priests choke on their sacred scripts
Lines of kings in gilded portraits
Drip and smear
Their faces split
Iron gates are bent like branches
Banners burned to rotting threads
Famine marching
Thin and smiling
Counting ribs and unmade beds
[Chorus]
Thrones of shattered bone
Empires carved in stone
Crumble
Crumble
Every god you own
Hands that claimed the sky
Scratch at dirt and die
Crumble
Crumble
Hear your kingdoms dry
[Verse 2]
Markets flooded red and silent
Coins float in a shallow grave
Gold teeth clack in empty faces
Grinning through the final plague
Cathedrals tilt
Their steeples bowing
Stained glass screams in colored rain
Choirs cough their final chorus
Every echo tastes like pain
[Breakdown]
Bite the dust
Chew the plague
Wear your crown
In the grave
Bite the dust
Chew the plague
(We were born)
Just to cave
[Chorus]
Thrones of shattered bone
Empires carved in stone
Crumble
Crumble
Every god you own
Hands that claimed the sky
Scratch at dirt and die
Crumble
Crumble
Watch your kingdoms dry
[Bridge]
The last king crawls on broken fingers
Drags his banner through the ash
Writes his name across the wasteland
Wind replies with laughing backlash
[Final Breakdown]
Fall
To your rusted knees
Fall
Feed the swarming seas
Fall
Hear the world un-throne you
Fall
Let the worms crown through (ugh)
