[Verse 1]
I walked in black ash rain
With a sigil on my throat
The graves split wide for me
And every dead thing rose
I lit the moon with spite
Made a crown from rib and chain
Now the swamp is marching
At the sound of my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ground shake
Hear the old bones wake
Cold hands reaching up
For the war I made
From the crypt to the sky
They all turn when I call
One blood-red word
And the dead obey all
[Chorus]
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
My dead don't kneel down
They tear your gate down
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
Skulls in the battleground
All under my sound
[Verse 2]
Skeleton ranks in rows
Rattling through the dust
Zombies with their jaws sewn tight
Still hungry for my trust
Wraiths like smoke in armor
Sliding through your steel
Mummies wrapped in sand and wrath
And a curse you feel
Vampires on the high ridge
Laughing with red teeth
Undead dragons circling
Black fire in their wings
I lift one finger slow
And the whole sky bends
No priest can break this circle
No dawn can make amends
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ground shake
Hear the old bones wake
Cold hands reaching up
For the war I made
From the crypt to the sky
They all turn when I call
One blood-red word
And the dead obey all
[Chorus]
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
My dead don't kneel down
They tear your gate down
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
Skulls in the battleground
All under my sound
[Bridge]
I don't fear the grave
I wear it like a blade
Every name you buried
Now answers my shade
When the red moon breaks
I open every tomb
And the army that you fed
Becomes your doom
[Final Chorus]
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
My dead don't kneel down
They tear your gate down
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
Skulls in the battleground
All under my sound
Bow to the Bone Crown
Bow to the Bone Crown
Undead under my command
Take the kingdom back again
