[Intro]
Spotlights on
Graveside stage
Hear that roar
From another age
[Verse 1]
First flame
First crown
Claws on a cracked red throne
Your favorite sins
All signed in bone
Curtain call in a cave of skulls
Echoes of the first loud scream
They carved our crest in crumbling stone
Called us the nightmare dream
[Chorus]
We are the Morningstar dynasty
Every age
Every hellbound melody
Crowns made of teeth
Of rust
Of scars
We rule the noise from a pit of stars
Line by line
Blood in every bar
Bow to the Morningstar
[Verse 2]
Plague-year plays in a burning square
Jesters with iron jaws
Kings laughed thin
Till they choked on applause
Velvet seats in a gaslit hall
Orchestra of fractured bones
We turned their grief to a violent waltz
Signed it with broken thrones
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Centuries spin
Like a record in flames
Dead crowd chanting
Our many names
Every riot
Every stage dive fall
Every saint that begged backstage
We fed their ghosts to the amplifiers
Let them howl
Let them rage
[Verse 3]
Now it’s spikes and boots on a cracked black floor
Chains swing
Red smoke
Roar
We plug the dead straight into the sound
They rise
They shake the ground
You feel that chill when the feedback bites?
That’s a thousand lost encores
Laughing loud in the flood of lights
Kissing your mortal shores
[Chorus]
