[Intro] Ash gathers beneath a bruised-red sky Four black horns rise where the dead birds fly A throne of bone in a field without a name Something underneath is breathing through the flame [Verse 1] You carved your altar from the ribs of the weak Now every stone remembers what you seek Eyes in the smoke, teeth under the ground The ones you buried are turning around [Pre-Chorus] No prayer can seal this door No blood can buy you time The thing you called from below Has learned to wear your mind [Chorus] Demons at the edge of the world Dragging the heavens down Demons with mouths full of earth Feeding on every crown You built your kingdom on graves Now hear the buried roar When the last red candle dies We are what you summoned for [Verse 2] A pale hand reaches through the ruined wall One by one, your sacred statues fall The tallest shadow bends across the land And closes its fingers round your trembling hands [Breakdown] BOW BEFORE THE HOLLOW KING The pit has opened The bells have stopped Your name is written In every drop [Chorus] Demons at the edge of the world Dragging the heavens down Demons with mouths full of earth Feeding on every crown You built your kingdom on graves Now hear the buried roar When the last red candle dies We are what you summoned for [Bridge] Look into the crimson sky See the shapes behind the clouds Every face you left to die Has returned to speak aloud [Final Breakdown] No angels No mercy No gate No dawn The throne is empty The master is gone You opened the dark You gave it a tongue Now choke on the hymn Of the dead and the young [Outro] Ash settles on the silent ground Four black horns fade without a sound But beneath the roots, beneath the stone Something still remembers your name alone
