Crown of Your Own Desire

Paroles

[Intro] Ash on the altar, iron in the rain A crooked bell is calling out my name [Verse 1] You brought your bargain to a locked black door With shaking hands and a mouth full of gold I heard the floorboards count your every step I watched the candle turn the room cold [Pre-Chorus] No prayer can buy what the dirt has claimed No saint will carry you through the flame [Chorus] Kneel when the old earth opens wide Taste the rust on the turning tide You chose the chain, you fed the fire Now wear the crown of your own desire [Verse 2] A six-string growls from the corner booth Blue notes drag like a blade through truth The drummer pounds on a coffin lid And every lie says this is what you did [Pre-Chorus] No prayer can buy what the dirt has claimed No saint will carry you through the flame [Chorus] Kneel when the old earth opens wide Taste the rust on the turning tide You chose the chain, you fed the fire Now wear the crown of your own desire [Bridge] I know the weight beneath your skin I know the place you bury sin The night has teeth, the ground has eyes Your kingdom falls when the black wind rises [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental] [Breakdown] Strike the match Break the seal Tell me now What do you feel? [Chorus] Kneel when the old earth opens wide Taste the rust on the turning tide You chose the chain, you fed the fire Now wear the crown of your own desire [Outro] Ash on the altar, iron in the rain The crooked bell keeps calling out my name
