Kingdom of Ruins

[Verse 1] O Kingdom of Ruins wake in your stone blood in the dirt still knows your name It crawls through the roots like a verdict in chains ember in the ash won’t learn to die Hands that fed it are gone to the dark still the red earth keeps the mark [Pre-Chorus] Listen the dead are calling under the nave under the rain The stones remember every falling every banner every flame [Chorus] They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) Stay stay don’t let it go They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) [Verse 2] Now the crown is rust on the broken nave slipped from the gold to the stone below Nights lean close through the shattered arch and the moth-eaten saints won’t look away Nobody’s coming not now not ever only the wind and the long red vow [Pre-Chorus] Listen the dead are calling under the nave under the rain The stones remember every falling every banner every flame [Chorus] They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) Stay stay don’t let it go They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) [Bridge] If you wake let the ashes speak let the broken choir rise through you Every ruin has a pulse every wound has a name And the crown in its rusted sleep waits for a hand to make it flame [Final Chorus] They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) Stay stay don’t let it go They called it a grave (called it a grave) We call it a throne (we call it a throne) O Kingdom of Ruins wake up and reign
