[Verse 1] She left her shoes by the door Dust on the threshold line A key turned cold in her palm And a name she could not find In the hall, the mirrors bent Like they knew the road she took Now the house holds its breath For the step that brings her back [Pre-Chorus] Count the bones in the floorboards Count the knocks in the dark Something old keeps a candle For the wound in her heart The river ran to meet her The ravens learned her face Every path that broke her open Points her to this place [Chorus] The stained black throne Calls her home The stained black throne Won’t let go She is the key She is the vow The stained black throne Awaits her now [Verse 2] There’s a crown made of soot On the hook by the stairs There’s a dress full of ash And a lock of her hair She crossed through winter fields Bare hands, brave and bruised Now the wolves at the gate Know the scent of her truth [Pre-Chorus] Count the bones in the floorboards Count the knocks in the dark Something old keeps a candle For the wound in her heart The river ran to meet her The ravens learned her face Every path that broke her open Points her to this place [Chorus] The stained black throne Calls her home The stained black throne Won’t let go She is the key She is the vow The stained black throne Awaits her now [Bridge] Let the old chains rattle Let the black glass sing She walked through the ruin To reclaim everything No more borrowed silence No more borrowed skin She steps into the ending And lets the night begin [Chorus] The stained black throne Calls her home The stained black throne Won’t let go She is the key She is the vow The stained black throne Awaits her now
