[Intro] Gold in the desert Gold in the flame Gold in the ruins Remember the name Prune Prince Prune Prince [Verse 1] He was born where the sun don’t sleep Gold scales burning in the heat Sword hand heavy, heart too proud War drums calling from the clouds Crossed the world for a royal war Wanted something worth bleeding for Fire rising under skin First one out and first one in Then the banners fell And the silence came So he bought a dream With a noble name [Pre-Chorus] Sun-kissed grapes Black as night Liquid gold Cure-all wine Signed in ink Sealed in pride One thousand gold For a desert lie [Chorus] Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Isn’t the ruin spectacular? Run through the Haze now, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Isn’t redemption spectacular? Rise from the ashes, Prune Prince [Post-Chorus] Prune Prince Prune Prince Gold scales No chains Prune Prince Prune Prince Old shame New name [Verse 2] House von Holtz had the silver out All dressed up for a velvet mouth Every lord with a waiting glass Every smile turned cruel so fast No dark grapes No holy vine Just spoiled fruit And a debt signed fine Vinegar boys in the alleyway Counting coins he had yet to pay “Prune Prince” drifting through the smoke Say it twice and the dragon woke [Pre-Chorus 2] Crates went bad Gold went gone Debt stayed close Shame held on Then the Countess Bought the chain Cold red smile New old pain [Chorus] Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Isn’t the ruin spectacular? Run through the Haze now, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Isn’t redemption spectacular? Rise from the ashes, Prune Prince [Drop] Gold Fire Debt Paid Haze Hunter No Chains Gold Fire Debt Paid Prune Prince Prune Prince [Bridge] He writes the dead in a book that lasts Every beast from the cursed old past Name by name in an endless line Proof he was more than a spoiled wine Not a joke Not a fool Not a debt For nobles to rule Not a prince Of rot and stain He took the name And changed the pain [Final Chorus] Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Run from the laughter, Prune Prince Isn’t the ruin spectacular? Run through the Haze now, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Burn through the ledger, Prune Prince Isn’t redemption spectacular? Rise from the ashes, Prune Prince [Final Post-Chorus] Prune Prince Prune Prince Gold scales No chains Prune Prince Prune Prince Old shame New name Prune Prince Prune Prince Debt paid Flame raised Gideon Gideon No debt remains
