Break the Crown

Lyrics

[Intro] [Instrumental: hard-slam guitar riff and orchestra] [Verse 1] Stone teeth bite through the blackened gate Iron lungs turn the wheel of fate I plant my feet where the fault lines split You hear the lock, then the whole wall gives [Chorus] Break the crown, bring the towers down No retreat when the walls come round Cut the chain, let the old world fall We are the weight that outlasts it all [Verse 2] Ash in my mouth, grit in my hands I read the ruin like a battle plan Your banners burn in the furnace wind I take one step; the end begins [Middle] Faster now, through the split stone floor Run the blade past the iron door Stop—strike—hold—then tear through again No mercy left for the walls we bend [Final Chorus] Break the crown, bring the towers down No retreat when the walls come round Cut the chain, let the old world fall We are the weight that outlasts it all [Outro] [Instrumental: brutal downtuned outro riff with full orchestra]
