The Crown Falls Down

Lyrics

[Intro] Under the iron crown, I count the names Ash on the altar, rain on the flames You stand at the gate with your hands held high I hear every promise you buried alive [Verse 1] I walked through the furnace where the faithful kneel Past a thousand locked doors and a throne made of steel You said power was mercy, you said fear was law Now the walls lean inward at the sound of my call [Pre-Chorus] No more bargains carved in bone No more kings who rule alone When the last bell shakes the stone You will face what you have sown [Chorus] Raise your voice, let the black sky open Break the seal, let the silence crack From the pit to the highest ocean Every lost soul is coming back We are more than the chains they gave us More than ash beneath their feet When the fallen rise together Even hell will feel the heat [Verse 2] I saw your halo hidden under the dust A bright little ember that survived the rust You called me a monster, I called you awake There is truth in the ruin and a choice left to make [Pre-Chorus] No more kneeling to the crown No more swallowing the sound If the old world drags us down We will turn the grave around [Bridge] [Choir] Who owns the night? Who holds the flame? Who gets to write The ending of our names? [Lead] Not the judge behind the curtain Not the hand that dealt the scars We are done with being certain We are reaching past the bars [Breakdown] One spark Two hearts A thousand voices in the dark One step Stand tall If one of us rises, we rise all [Final Chorus] Raise your voice, let the black sky open Break the seal, let the silence crack From the pit to the highest ocean Every lost soul is coming back We are more than the chains they gave us More than ash beneath their feet When the fallen rise together Even hell will feel the heat [Finale] Hear the iron kingdom tremble Hear the old throne split in two Every buried soul remembers There is nothing left to fear from you Raise your voice, raise it higher Let the conquered claim the flame We were forged inside the fire Now the world will learn our name [Outro] The crown falls down The gates swing wide We walk from the dark With the dawn at our side
