[Verse] Drag me from the deep, from the age I swore to keep Now the kingdom shakes for me Yeah, the kingdom breaks for me Sealed beneath the stone, now I rise to claim my own And the sky will bow to me Yeah, the sky will bow to me [Pre-Chorus] Feel the tremor crawl beneath your feet Hear the drums of doom repeat, repeat [Chorus] Ahh-ahh-ahh, now the ruin wears my name Circle through the ashes of a long-dead reign Ahh-ahh-ahh, and the heavens split apart now ’Cause there’s nothing left to save or plead Kneel before the hand of ancient greed So step right up and watch the end with me Dance, coward, dance, while the wicked king returns! [Verse] Gold against the dusk, all your holy blades will rust When the desert calls my name Yeah, the desert calls my name Kings may draw their steel, but I am famine made real And their courage wilts in shame Yeah, it withers down to shame Castles crack apart, every prayer a feeble dart Every vow falls short of me Every oath falls short of me Watch the panic spread, see the living count the dead When they learn what waits to be When they learn what waits to be [Pre-Chorus] Are you really gonna stand like that? With a borrowed sword and a borrowed past [Chorus] Ahh-ahh-ahh, now the ruin wears my name Circle through the ashes of a long-dead reign Ahh-ahh-ahh, I will tear it open wide now ’Cause there’s nothing left to save or plead Kneel before the hand of ancient greed So step right up and watch the end with me Dance, coward, dance, while the wicked king returns! [Bridge] From the crypt below to the blood-red sky I was never meant to fade and die I am wrath made flesh, I am old design I am curse and blade and the end of time Let the sages choke on the dust they keep Let the mountains crack and the oceans weep I have come to take what was denied Now the world itself will split aside [Pre-Chorus] Are you really gonna answer that? When the dark rides in and there’s no way back [Chorus] Ahh-ahh-ahh, now the ruin wears my name Circle through the ashes of a long-dead reign Ahh-ahh-ahh, and the world will not recover The traitors and the fools all fed the seed Now they choke beneath the roots of greed So step right up and watch the end with me Ahh-ahh-ahh, hear the heavens groan in dread Circle through the wreckage of the words once said Ahh-ahh-ahh, and the age is torn asunder ’Cause there’s nothing left to save or plead Kneel before the hand of ancient greed So step right up and watch the end with me Dance, coward, dance, while the wicked king returns!
