Bow Before Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up in the black With your fists in my chest You wore my old face And you called it a test You fed on my shame Like a thief in my room But I learned your name In the edge of the gloom You came for my pulse You came for my breath I stood in the mirror And I stared you to death [Pre-Chorus] You shook, you shook When I stood tall You lost your grip You lost it all I took that weight Off my spine Now you can crawl In a line [Chorus] Bow before me Bow before me Say my name now Say it clean Bow before me Bow before me I own the night I break the scene (Bow before me) (Bow before me) [Verse 2] You rattled the door At the heel of the hill You wore my old fear Like a cheap little thrill You hid in the hours You hid in the rain You fed me your poison Then called it my brain But I found a spark In the pit of my wrath A wolf in my mouth And a blade in my path I stepped through the smoke With a hard steady grin You backed out of my bones And you folded within [Pre-Chorus] You shook, you shook When I stood tall You lost your grip You lost it all I took that weight Off my spine Now you can crawl In a line [Chorus] Bow before me Bow before me Say my name now Say it clean Bow before me Bow before me I own the night I break the scene (Bow before me) (Bow before me) [Bridge] I was the kid in the hallway Counting every crack Now I wear my scars Like a blade on my back You were a liar With my voice in your mouth Now I drag you north And I send you south [Breakdown] Kneel Kneel You don't get the crown Kneel Kneel Watch me take you down [Final Chorus] Bow before me Bow before me Say my name now Say it clean Bow before me Bow before me I own the night I break the scene Bow before me Bow before me You were a ghost Now you serve the king (Bow before me) (Bow before me)
