The Damned Can Multiply

Lyrics

[Intro] Attention, every room, every screen The red light’s on, the throne is seen [Verse 1] I signed my name in sulfur ink While silver towers watched me sink You kept your gates above the smoke Now hear the promise in the joke I’ve got a city full of teeth A thousand hands beneath the street No saint gets to decide our worth We’ll send the verdict back to Earth [Pre-Chorus] Raise the curtain, lock the door Count the wings across the floor If they want a holy fight We’ll make the dark look bright [Chorus] This is the hour, this is the call We are the thunder behind the wall Heaven, you’re invited, come and see What your discarded children came to be No more kneeling, no more chains We turn your judgment into flames When the signal cuts the sky You’ll learn the damned can multiply [Verse 2] The cameras bloom like hungry eyes A velvet grin, a perfect lie I sell the panic, frame by frame Then autograph the end of shame The ones you cast beneath your feet Are marching with a different beat Your spotless halls have missed one thing: A broken heart can grow a wing [Pre-Chorus] Raise the curtain, lock the door Count the wings across the floor If they want a holy fight We’ll make the dark look bright [Chorus] This is the hour, this is the call We are the thunder behind the wall Heaven, you’re invited, come and see What your discarded children came to be No more kneeling, no more chains We turn your judgment into flames When the signal cuts the sky You’ll learn the damned can multiply [Bridge] Choir of the unwanted, answer when I speak Every scar is evidence, every vow is teeth Let the upper kingdoms tremble at the sound We were buried underneath them Now we’re coming up unbound [Final Chorus] This is the hour, this is the call We are the thunder behind the wall Heaven, you’re invited, come and see What your discarded children came to be No more kneeling, no more chains We turn your judgment into flames When the signal cuts the sky You’ll learn the damned can multiply [Outro] The broadcast ends when morning comes But war keeps marching through the drums Turn every screen toward the sky And watch the fallen multiply
