[Verse 1] The ash falls red on stone Old bones crack under flame A throne of rust and teeth Still calls out one more name The hounds run wild below The vaults are starting to shake One shadow walks through hell And every lock will break [Pre-Chorus] Hear that iron grind Hear the fear awake All your walls go thin When the night creature breaks [Chorus] He brings the ruin down He brings the ruin down Built for the dark to drown He takes the crown, the crown (Down, down, down) He brings the ruin down [Verse 2] The blast blooms white and hot Through catacombs of smoke Every scream gets cut to dust Every wicked chain gets broke No mercy for the prey No prayer will slow his pace He leaves the beasts in parts And ash across the place [Pre-Chorus] Hear that iron grind Hear the fear awake All your walls go thin When the night creature breaks [Chorus] He brings the ruin down He brings the ruin down Built for the dark to drown He takes the crown, the crown (Down, down, down) He brings the ruin down [Bridge] They named him the end of nights The blade in the blackened hall A red glare in the deep That makes the tyrants fall The forge runs bright as blood The gate is splitting wide One pulse, one final scream Then nothing left inside [Chorus] He brings the ruin down He brings the ruin down Built for the dark to drown He takes the crown, the crown (Down, down, down) He brings the ruin down [Outro] Ash on the broken rail Smoke in the open sky The pit goes cold and still And the last screams die
