Lyric

Marble eyes

Watching every step I take

Golden teeth

Biting down till kingdoms break

Long red halls

Echo with the names they erased

I feel small

But I will not bow in this place

Their banners breathe

Like beasts above my head

Their silence screams

A promise left unsaid

They say my fate

Is written in their hands

I clench my jaw

I learn to stand

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

All that you conquered

I walked through it

You raise your scepters like thunder in your fists

But I won't break

I won't break for this

Your shadows crawl like a kingdom of ghosts

You sit on bones and you call it a throne

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

And I won't bow

I won't bow to you

Silver masks

Hide the rust beneath your shine

Velvet lies

Dripping off your every line

Glass-cut smiles

Meant to slice me where I stand

But every cut

Just sharpens who I am

Your choir chants

Of order and of peace

But every word

Is sharpened like a piece

Of broken crown

Pressed against my skin

You think I bleed

So you can win

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

All that you conquered

I walked through it

You raise your scepters like thunder in your fists

But I won't break

I won't break for this

Your shadows crawl like a kingdom of ghosts

You sit on bones and you call it a throne

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

And I won't bow

I won't bow to you

You burned the bridges

Now the sky is on your side

You rule the ashes

Call it mercy when we hide

But I am not your subject

I am not your proof

I am the crack

Running through your truth

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

All that you conquered

I walked through it

You raise your scepters like thunder in your fists

But I won't break

I won't break for this

Your shadows crawl like a kingdom of ghosts

You sit on bones and you call it a throne

I stand before the crowned in the ruins

And I won't bow

I won't bow

To you
