[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Iron kings command the thunder While the world is torn asunder Cold ambition feeds the fire Building empires of the damned Through the smoke, the sirens screaming Millions lost, their hopes retreating Steel and blood across the plains Humanity chained in pain Oh, Lord, yeah [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Behind their walls, the rulers wait While young men march to meet their fate They draw the lines, they give the call But never hear the wounded fall Their golden halls conceal the cries Of countless souls beneath the skies They play their games with flesh and bone Until the flames consume their thrones Oh, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Blackened skies, the sun is fading Silent streets, no hope remaining Broken crowns lie in the dust Ruined kingdoms turn to rust From the heavens, judgment's rising No more lies, no more disguising The mighty kneel before the flame And whisper prayers without a name Dark wings circle overhead As the world mourns its countless dead Oh, Lord, yeah [Instrumental Outro]
