I've been building this for so long I almost forgot how good the punchline feels Well guess I can't stay hidden forever Ready or not HERE I COME [Verse 1] Four thrones sat around the board Four gods who claim they see all Lord of slaughter you drowned in the flood Never once did you look beneath your own rage Father of flies you nursed every wound Fed the rot till it sang But something older was chewing the seams Long before your disease began [Verse 2] Weaver of fates you counted the threads A thousand futures unrolled Yet never once did your eyes fall down To the tunnels dug in the cold Prince of excess you tempted the crowns Whispered sin in their ear But greed was mine long before you appeared Every hunger every fear Listen closer can you hear it now Beneath the throne beneath the ground A thousand claws a thousand teeth Have been here longer than belief You called it vermin you called it small You never saw me at all [Chorus] I am here I was never gone I was always near Beneath your crowns beneath your fear I am here Five thrones now not four You just never saw the door Every crack every fallen stone Was mine before you built your throne I am here [Verse 3] I was never one voice never one claw A thousand schemes wearing one crown Every whisper in every court Every empire that crumbled down I was the hand behind every knife The debt no king could repay I am the sum of a billion teeth And you never saw it till today [Chorus] I am here Not one but thousands drawing near Beneath your game beneath your fear We are here Five thrones now not four Every rat that scratched your floor Every famine every plague Was mine before you knew my name I am here [Bridge] Broken crowns warpstone and rust Empires ground down into dust Rising now from beneath the stone A throne no god has ever known Not fought for not asked not owed Just taken the way the rot always grows Watch as the Warp bends its knee Watch as the Fifth God takes his seat [Chorus] I am here The way the dark was always here Not born in fire not born in fear I was the crack before the fall The rot beneath the throne room wall Five gods now count them well The Warp remembers what it can't expel I am here Listen Four gods playing at forever Never thought to count to five The board was always mine to set Now let's play the great game
