[Verse 1] Black tide on a dead horizon Cold teeth of a thousand profane hulls Kingsbane crowns the void in iron Silent suns recoil in awe Ci'aar carves a wound through orbit Windows stuffed with stolen stars Heskuran emblems Bone and circuit Dripping worlds from metal jaws [Pre-Chorus] Signal in the black A fracture in the stars Rust-red halos Around a dying sun Their names Like broken stone "Khargon!" "Zerleg Nudd!" "Heskurar!" "Kral!" [Chorus] Hail the Kingsbane! Ash in its wake! Hail the Hegemony! Planets crack and break! Hail the Kingsbane! Hear the cosmos choke! Hail the Hegemony! Wear your sky as smoke! [Verse 2] The Zerleg Nudd splits the moons Cracks planets like old teeth Cities turned to gravel Grinding in their wake The Kralish Legions descend A plague of molten eyes Boils oceans from the rock Leaves deserts made of knives [Chorus] Hail the Kingsbane! Ash in its wake! Hail the Hegemony! Planets crack and break! Hail the Kingsbane! Hear the cosmos choke! Hail the Hegemony! Wear your sky as smoke! [Bridge] The Khargon Slow hunger Drinks the molten core Peels the iron spine From every hollow world... Ci'aar waits in the ruins Cold The Heskurar, patient kings of dust Collects the last Thin prayers And grinds them into rust [Breakdown] They pierce the void Flotillas of death A fleet of Dreadnoughts On all that lives The human prey Beneath the flagship The Kingsbane scour... Scour the heavens... They gorge on all life! [Chorus] Hail the Kingsbane! Ash in its wake! Hail the Hegemony! Planets crack and break! Hail the Kingsbane! Hear the cosmos choke! Hail the Hegemony! Wear your sky as smoke!
