[Intro]
The horizon splits beneath a dying sun
Ash falls like verdicts on everyone
I wake with a furnace behind my eyes
And drag the buried war into the sky
[Verse 1]
You built your throne from the teeth of the weak
Now hear the foundations crack when I speak
Every command is a brand on the skin
Every locked door hides the beast within
I have swallowed the language of fear
Fed it to the machinery year after year
No absolution, no hand from above
Only the violence of what I become
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the names carved into the iron
Count the lives beneath the fire
When the black tide reaches the altar
I will be the final choir
[Chorus]
Tear down the world that made me kneel
Let every buried wound become steel
I am the storm inside the cage
I am the mouth of the end of the age
No gods, no kings, no mercy survives
I bring the dead weight of a thousand lives
When the last red tower falls apart
You will hear the war inside my heart
[Verse 2]
The streets are a maze of bone and decree
The sirens sing their obedience to me
A crown of rust on a skull made of stone
A kingdom collapsing beneath its own throne
I sharpen my rage on the edge of the past
Each second a weapon, each breath is a blast
The wolves at the gate have forgotten my name
So I open the gate and I welcome the flame
[Breakdown]
Bury the banner
Break the command
Drag every tyrant
Down through the land
I WILL NOT BEND
I WILL NOT BREAK
I AM THE FAULT LINE
UNDER YOUR FAITH
CRUSH
THE
ALTAR
[Chorus]
Tear down the world that made me kneel
Let every buried wound become steel
I am the storm inside the cage
I am the mouth of the end of the age
No gods, no kings, no mercy survives
I bring the dead weight of a thousand lives
When the last red tower falls apart
You will hear the war inside my heart
[Bridge]
If there is a lesson, let it burn
If there is a debt, let the whole earth learn
I found no peace in the silence below
So I became the thing they feared to know
[Final Breakdown]
RAGE IN THE VEINS
FIRE IN THE LUNGS
EVERY LAST CHAIN
SEVERED FROM THE BLOOD
THE SKY COMES DOWN
THE BLACK SEA RISES
I AM THE END
OF ALL YOUR PRISONS
[Outro]
When the ashes settle, there will be no throne
No voice left standing to call this home
Only a scar where the old world lay
And the sound of my fury fading away
