[Intro] Step out the crypt Dust in my veins Crown made of bone Calling your name [Verse 1] I crawl out the crack in the headstone Spit grave soil, sit on a dead throne My empire rotted, but the walls strong Every skull in the hall sing my war song I drag that scythe, let the steel hum Ink-black edge make your soul numb Dragon corpse breathing out a plague wind Rot in his ribs, that’s my playpen I kiss fear right on its split lip Put doom in a wine glass, slow sip You pray to the sun, I stain it Turn day into ash, then chain it [Chorus] I’m the Princess of Black Death, bow when I ride Rancid dragon in the sky, wings spread wide From the graveyard gates to your bedside You can run, you can scream, you still mine when you die Princess of Black Death, shadow in your breath Every single heartbeat marching to my step Monster World, real world, all of you are next Every road, every realm, only leads to my neck [Verse 2] I sit where the lost and the worms feast Sip night from a chalice of burned priests Black lace veil on a cracked crown Drag chains through the mud of a crashed town I map out veins like old roads Follow every pulse till it corrodes You light candles, I lick them out Leave wax tears on your fading mouth Your bravest heroes in my mass grave Rust on their armor, still think they brave? I ride through walls, through locked doors Hoofprints of rot on your clean floors [Chorus] I’m the Princess of Black Death, bow when I ride Rancid dragon in the sky, wings spread wide From the graveyard gates to your bedside You can run, you can scream, you still mine when you die Princess of Black Death, shadow in your breath Every single heartbeat marching to my step Monster World, real world, all of you are next Every road, every realm, only leads to my neck [Bridge] You feel that chill in your ribcage That’s me, writing your end page I don’t rush, I arrive on time Every clock in your house already mine I bloom black roses in your lungs Hang cold halos on the young When the last faint light goes out I’ll be on my throne of doubt [Chorus] I’m the Princess of Black Death, bow when I ride Rancid dragon in the sky, wings spread wide From the graveyard gates to your bedside You can run, you can scream, you still mine when you die Princess of Black Death, shadow in your breath Every single heartbeat marching to my step Monster World, real world, all of you are next Every road, every realm, only leads to my neck
