[Intro] Thirteen carved into the iron gate Eighty-five banners bend beneath my name The candles spit, the chamber shakes I arrive furious, awake [Verse 1] Make way, make way, the throne has turned A crown of ash, a heart that burns No plea can soften what I bring I am the law beneath the king You call me down with trembling hands I answer from forbidden lands But two hearts caught in separate flames Still know the secret of my chains [Pre-Chorus] I break the distance, split the night I drag two hidden hearts to light [Chorus] Kneel to the king, let the whole world hear I bind your desire when I appear Furious eyes, but I know what you need Two lonely hearts, one ruthless decree Call my name, let the old walls shake Love is the bargain I choose to make [Verse 2] My legions wait beyond the door Their iron breath rolls across the floor Yet I have watched the proudest fall When one true glance defeats them all I see the letter you never sent The quiet wound, the argument I turn the lock, I strike the spark And lead your hands through the dark [Pre-Chorus] I break the distance, split the night I drag two hidden hearts to light [Chorus] Kneel to the king, let the whole world hear I bind your desire when I appear Furious eyes, but I know what you need Two lonely hearts, one ruthless decree Call my name, let the old walls shake Love is the bargain I choose to make [Bridge] Seven beats of thunder, count them slow One for the vow you were scared to show Two for the door, three for the flame Four for the blood that remembers your name Five for the silence, six for the fall Seven—I command you, answer the call [Breakdown] I am not mercy I am not grace I am the storm That puts love in its place [Final Chorus] Kneel to the king, let the whole world hear I bind your desire when I appear Furious eyes, but I know what you need Two lonely hearts, one ruthless decree Call my name, let the old walls shake Love is the bargain I choose to make [Outro] Thirteen on the seal, eighty-five in line The throne is mine, the verdict is mine I leave you breathing, hand in hand The raging king has made his command
