[Verse 1]
Crows on the crown
Iron gates sigh
Ash on the banners
Black in the sky
Statues still breathing
Under their stone
Every bell ringing
Over bone
Over bone
[Chorus]
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Every vow still carved in red
Raise your cups to the rust and rot
We remember what time forgot
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Hear the oath in every tread
We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive
Cursed to stand
Cursed to live
[Verse 2]
Thorns in the throne room
Roots in the hall
Vines hold the portraits
Pinned to the wall
Children of famine
Never grow thin
Cracks in their faces
But never giving in
[Chorus]
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Every vow still carved in red
Raise your cups to the rust and rot
We remember what time forgot
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Hear the oath in every tread
We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive
Cursed to stand
Cursed to live
[Bridge]
We prayed for mercy
Mercy came late
Sealed our last heartbeat
Into the gate
Now every sunrise
Feels like revenge
Year after year
That never ends (never ends)
[Chorus]
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Every vow still carved in red
Raise your cups to the rust and rot
We remember what time forgot
Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead
Hear the oath in every tread
We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive
Cursed to stand
Cursed to live
