Black Velvet Throne

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] A black wind crawls the western halls With wax and smoke on golden walls A shadow signs with a poison pen And calls the old debts back again Five old masks in a velvet line Speak of crowns like broken wine The tower hums in a buried key And locks its teeth around the sea [Pre-Chorus] Hear that choir Under stone? Names turn ash In the undertow The gates swing wide The candles bend Night takes the oath And starts to win [Chorus] Black throne, black throne It calls them home Black throne, black throne The world turns bone Hell on the wire Fire in the bone Black throne, black throne It calls them home [Verse 2] A red seal drips from the chapel door On the maps of ash and the iron floor The trumpets choke on a thousand cries While the moon cuts glass through deadened eyes I saw the pale smoke over the plain Like ruined prayers in a hurricane And every crown in the midnight air Fell like a curse with a final glare [Pre-Chorus] Hear that choir Under stone? Names turn ash In the undertow The gates swing wide The candles bend Night takes the oath And starts to win [Chorus] Black throne, black throne It calls them home Black throne, black throne The world turns bone Hell on the wire Fire in the bone Black throne, black throne It calls them home [Bridge] Kneel for the dark Kiss the seal The old world splits The wound is real Tremble now The hour is near When iron prayer Becomes the fear [Final Chorus] Black throne, black throne It calls them home Black throne, black throne The world turns bone Hell on the wire Fire in the bone Black throne, black throne It calls them home
