歌詞

No warning

No bell

Just black wings

Over the square

Maps on the table

Sun through the glass

One bad message

Then everything cracks

Boots in the street

Smoke in the air

Everyone praying

Like somebody cares

Steel meets a claw

Light hits a wall

We gave it everything

It gave nothing at all

He came down smiling

Like this was planned

Black wings open

Over the land

We raised our weapons

He raised one hand

No throne, no crown

Still everyone understands

The demon emperor descends

Oh—

Let the last light bend

Oh—

The demon emperor descends

A blade full of daylight

A prayer split in two

Angels came falling

And went straight through

For half of a second

We thought he could bleed

Then came the laughter

Then came the speed

Hope made a sound

Then died in the dust

One step behind him

Was one step too much

He came down smiling

Like this was planned

Black wings open

Over the land

We raised our weapons

He raised one hand

No throne, no crown

Still everyone understands

The demon emperor descends

He picked up mercy

By both of its feet

Turned every rescue

Into retreat

Nobody moved

Nobody breathed

The kindest face

Became what he needs

Long sustained bends

Slow crying vibrato

Rising into feedback

He came down smiling

While the daylight ran

Black wings covered

Every last command

We called it courage

He called it a game

By the time night arrived

Nothing stayed the same

The demon emperor descends

The demon emperor descends

No warning

No bell

Just black wings

And the city went still

One long bending note

Fading into silence
