[Intro]
[low chant
Distant bells]
Cracks in the crown
Blood in the chalice
Tongues made of rust
Eyes full of malice
[Verse 1]
You wrote your law
In the bones of the broken
Fed me your fear
Till my hunger awoke and
I bit down hard
On the hand that was choking
Spit out the ash
All your curses unspoken
[Chorus]
I spit out the fire you fed me
Burn down the throne you bled me on
I’m the plague in your holy city
Black-winged saint with the serpent tongue
You made a monster just to chain me
Now watch your kingdom come undone
I spit out the fire
You can’t save me
I am the end you called your god (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Veils made of grief
Drag behind as I’m walking
Graves in my gaze
All your ghosts
They are talking
Kiss of the blade
On my throat
I am laughing
Drink from my scars
This is judgment
Not mercy
[Chorus]
I spit out the fire you fed me
Burn down the throne you bled me on
I’m the plague in your holy city
Black-winged saint with the serpent tongue
You made a monster just to chain me
Now watch your kingdom come undone
I spit out the fire
You can’t save me
I am the end you called your god
[Bridge]
On a mountain of skulls
I crown myself
With a halo of nails
I free myself
Every wound that you carved
Is a blazing spell
Every “die in the dark”
Is my battle yell (oh!)
[Chorus]
I spit out the fire you fed me
Burn down the throne you bled me on
I’m the plague in your holy city
Black-winged saint with the serpent tongue
You made a monster just to chain me
Now watch your kingdom come undone
I spit out the fire
You can’t save me
I am the end
I am the end
I am the end you called your god
