President of Fear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hit the dust where the black flags flew Iron in my mouth, but I breathed anew The ground took my name, the cold took my pride Still I found a pulse that refused to die [Pre-Chorus] Let the gates shake, let the old kings flee Every wound carved a throne in me [Chorus] I rise from the ruin, I answer the call Fear wears my number when I stand tall No crown was given, no mercy was shown I built my kingdom from splintered bone Bow to the silence, the hour is near I am the president of fear [Verse 2] I learned every language the frightened speak Saw doubt in the eyes of the strong and weak The storm came hunting, I met it alone With a scarred steel heart and a voice like stone [Pre-Chorus] Let the night come, let the red bells ring A fallen man can become a king [Chorus] I rise from the ruin, I answer the call Fear wears my number when I stand tall No crown was given, no mercy was shown I built my kingdom from splintered bone Bow to the silence, the hour is near I am the president of fear [Bridge] You thought the fall would finish me You mistook the ashes for a grave I returned with the weight of the mountain And the will no chain could enslave [Breakdown] Stand back Stand clear The fallen one is here No retreat No surrender I am the final thunder [Final Chorus] I rise from the ruin, I answer the call Fear wears my number when I stand tall The broken ground is my cornerstone I made a fortress from flesh and stone Hear every heartbeat, the message is clear I am the president of fear [Outro] I fell I rose Now fear knows my name
