Intro
Ashes in the holy wind
Choir calling from within
Ohhh—ohhh
The kingdom burns again
Verse 1
Stone towers turning black
No salvation coming back
Crowns covered up in dust
Broken saints and rust
Cold flames lighting empty halls
Hear the ancient empire fall
Heavy skies and poisoned rain
Every prayer sounds the same
Pre-Chorus
And the silence starts to sing
For the ending of a king
Chorus
Ashen kingdom underneath
Choir buried with the weak
Heaven fading into smoke
Every sacred vow is broke
Ashen kingdom, hollow throne
No god left to call our own
Marching through the dying light
We become the dark tonight
Verse 2
Candles shaking in the storm
Ghosts without a final form
Silver crosses lose their shine
Everything gets left behind
Massive drums beneath the ground
Like the earth collapsing down
Voices echo through the fire
Feeding something old and dire
Bridge / Choir
Ohhhh
Ashes fall forever
Ohhhh
Nothing lasts forever
Choir:
Burn it down
Burn it down
Let the kingdom drown
Final Chorus
Ashen kingdom underneath
Choir crying through the heat
Cathedrals crumble into dust
Turning gold and bones to rust
Ashen kingdom, end of grace
Darkness written on our face
When the final bells arrive
Only shadows leave alive
