[Verse 1]
Take your seat, the wine is poured
Every guest has been adored
Crystal glass and candlelight
Hide the monsters dressed in white
Every smile conceals a blade
Every toast a bargain made
Welcome to the noble feast
Where every promise hides a beast
[Chorus]
Raise your glass
Know your place
State your claim
Plead your case
When I sign
You’re dethroned
Every crown
Kneels to bone
[Verse 2]
Velvet halls and marble floors
Echo ancient civil wars
Witches seek my quiet hand
Vampires fear what I command
No loud threats
No sharpened steel
Only wax and iron seal
Even kings and ancient ghosts
Answer every clause I quote
[Chorus]
Raise your glass
Know your place
State your claim
Plead your case
When I sign
You’re dethroned
Every crown
Kneels to bone
[Bridge]
Justice never needs to shout
It simply waits
Every oath
Every fortune
Every dynasty
Eventually…
Comes before the bench.
[Verse 3]
Ash-Cradle keeps every vow
Every then and every now
Families fade, their fortunes flown
Yet every debt comes stumbling home
When the final candle dies
Truth still lingers in your eyes
One last page for all to own
Signed forever…
Signed in bone.
[Final Chorus]
Raise your glass
Know your place
State your claim
Plead your case
When I sign
You’re dethroned
Every crown
Kneels to bone
