House of Hollow Kings (Remix)

[Verse 1] The clock hands bleed They drip and spin Time’s a cage We’re locked within They build their towers! With higher powers! Their hearts are iron Their souls are sold [Pre chorus] Gold on their thrones Rot underneath They smile wide with poisoned teeth [Chorus] House of hollow kings Ruling over us They feast on our pain Betray our trust Ghouls in the light With alibis We see the truth through their disguise [Verse 2] They burn the books Rewrite the tale They buy the wind They sell the sail We’re the thread they pull The rope they twist A choking noose We can’t resist? [Pre chorus] But every chain is made to break Their monuments will someday quake [Chorus] House of hollow kings Ruling over us They feast on our lives Betray our trust Ghouls in the light With alibis We see the truth they cant deny! [Breakdown] The rust is creeping up the throne A crack in every hollow bone We are the embers, we are the spark The coming sunrise in the dark
