[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Iron taste
On my tongue again
Teeth for teeth
Let the purge begin
[Verse 1]
Rust crown
Bent on my skull like a shackle
Blood rain
Dripping down the throne of jackals
Rot breath
Filling up the chapel of ash
Loose nails
In my hands as the stained-glass cracks
[Chorus]
Feast of broken crowns
We wear the rust
We never bow
Pull the heavens down
Brick by brick
We drag it through the ground
Feast of broken crowns
Every king is just a body now
Carve the scripture out
In your flesh
In your flesh
[Verse 2]
Cold faith
Turned to chains on a dying altar
Black flags
Raising high over bleached-out martyrs
Blind eyes
Staring up at a hollow sky
Dead gods
Hang their heads but they never die
[Breakdown]
[guttural growls]
Bite the cross
Spit the nails
Let it burn
Let it burn in your veins
Crack the jaw
Split the veil
Hear it snap
Hear it snap in your brain
[slow tempo]
One by one
You are dragged to the light
On your knees
While I sharpen the knife
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
You built a kingdom
Out of bone and fear
Now feel it crumble
In your ears
[guttural growls][crescendo]
I AM THE PLAGUE YOU PRAYED FOR
I AM THE THROAT OF THE WORLD
[Final Breakdown]
[ultra-low vocal register]
Face down in your sacred filth
Face down in your sacred filth
[staggered gang shouts]
Bow
To
Nothing
But
The
Grave
