Reign Of The Ignition King

[Spoken Word]

Ebon Halo Seraph taught me how to feel.
The Ringleader of Madness taught me how to grin.
But the Matchbox Monarch…
He taught me how to light the spark…
and…
to be loud...

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 1 – rap]

Crown of sulfur, throne of sound,
I don’t start wars — I wake them loud.
Halo crooked, grin like a scar,
King of the spark in a burned-out star.

Count in thunder, breathe in fumes,
Name on the walls of a thousand rooms.
You pray for quiet, I pray for tune,
I pray for three…
two…
one...

[Pre-Chorus – rising]

Hear the choir chewing on the wire,
Feel my pulse climbing higher and higher.
Every doubt got a short little fuse,
Tell me, darling — what you got to lose?

[Chorus – massive chant]

BOW TO THE IGNITION KING
MATCHBOX RULER, LET HIM SING
CROWN OF SPARKS ON BROKEN WINGS
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I DON’T BLEED, I ONLY GLOW
TURN MY FEAR TO A LIGHTER SHOW
KNEEL OR DANCE IN THE AFTERGLOW
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Mama said fire don’t make good friends,
I said neither do quiet ends.
Teacher said, “boy, learn to behave,”
Flame said, “boy, learn to be brave.”

Static saints in a gasoline choir,
Writing my sins on a telephone wire.
If calm is a church in a velvet tomb,
I’m the sermon screaming BOOM.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Teeth like flint in a velvet grin,
Hear the countdown under my skin.
Every angel got one bad tune —
Mine goes three…
two…
one...

[Chorus 2 – stacked]

BOW TO THE IGNITION KING
MATCHBOX RULER, MAKE IT RING
TURN MY CHAINS TO A DIAMOND SWING
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I DON’T BREAK, I JUST TRANSFORM
PRETTY CHAOS IN A HUMAN FORM
KISS THE CALM THEN BREAK ITS NORM
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Bridge]

[Deep spoken whisper]
Not every king wears gold.
Some wear smoke.
Some wear sound.

[scream]
I AM THE MATCH
I AM THE ROOM
I AM THE BREATH
BEFORE THE—
BOOM!

[Instrumental]

[Choir chant]
Ignis Rex!
(King of Flame!)
Cordis Lux!
(Heart of Pain!)
Bloom Ex Nox!
(Rise from Night!)
Boom Ex Dux!
(Lead the Fight!)

[Final Chorus – ascended]

BOW TO THE IGNITION KING
MATCHBOX RULER, HEAR HIM SING
MAKE MY NAME A LIVING THING
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I DON’T DIE, I JUST BECOME
LOUDER THAN A DYING SUN
COUNT ME IN WHEN THE DRUMS GO —
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

[Outro – Instrumental]

[Spoken Word - deep, sinister]

Some crowns are forged.
Some are stolen.
Mine was struck.
