Age Of Monsters

[Verse 1] They walked in quiet Roots under concrete Smiles like sermons Eyes like hunger They talked of mercy Of balance and change But every handshake Left teeth in the cage [Pre-Chorus] I feel my halo cracking Hear that low branch snapping Every saint starts asking “Does the blood feel warm?” [Chorus] Welcome to the Age of Monsters Eternal Grove grows colder Good hearts growing claws When they pull you closer You were a hero yesterday Now you’re chewing on the altar Eternal Grove has opened the gate This is the Age of Monsters [Verse 2] They bless your bruises Call your scars a crown Say “show them mercy” Then whisper “tear them down” They paint your face In bark and tar Say “this is justice” As they dim the stars [Pre-Chorus] Hear the crowd start chanting Your old name Now slanting Every cheer enchanting Dragging you down [Chorus] Welcome to the Age of Monsters Eternal Grove grows colder Good hearts growing claws When they pull you closer You were a hero yesterday Now you’re chewing on the altar Eternal Grove has opened the gate This is the Age of Monsters [Bridge] Bite down Breathe deep (breathe deep) Can you feel the earth beneath? Halo in your hand Or a collar on your teeth? Stand tall Look up (look up) Hear the branches in your brain Are you man Are you myth Or just their favorite tamed insane? [Chorus] Welcome to the Age of Monsters Eternal Grove grows colder Good hearts growing claws When they pull you closer You were a hero yesterday Now you’re chewing on the altar Eternal Grove has opened the gate Eternal Grove has twisted your fate This is the Age of Monsters
