[singer A] He sits on a throne of broken lies Crowned in whispers the truth denies The walls are high but the ground is weak The cracks are screaming but he won’t speak [melodic interlude] [singer B] Cold like my heart Ripping me apart Your eyes and your smile How they pull me in [singer A] Hail the false king the hollow crown Built his empire just to burn it down Hail the false king the liar’s creed His gold is rust his throne will bleed [transition] [singer B] In your eyes The darkness I see in you I see the darkness in you In your eyes The darkness I see in you I see the darkness in you [singer A] The court applauds with empty hands Their cheers are ghosts in shifting sands The sword he wields it bends like clay He fears the night but dreads the day [instrumental] [singer B] Your cold skin is freezing my heart It's a cold world Better know your part I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Deeper and deeper and deeper [singer A] Hail the false king the hollow crown Built his empire just to burn it down Hail the false king the liar’s creed His gold is rust his throne will bleed [transition] [singer B] In your eyes The darkness I see in you I see the darkness in you In your eyes The darkness I see in you I see the darkness in you
