Crown of Rust and Bone

[Intro – Orchestral march + bells] All hail… the fallen… [Verse 1] They placed a crown of rust and bone Upon a head that once had known The warmth of sun, the taste of hope Now just a throne for spiders’ rope [Pre-Chorus] Subjects bow with broken spines Their loyalty in rusting lines [Chorus – Epic full band] I AM THE KING OF NOTHING! Ruler of ash and endless fall I WEAR THE CROWN OF NOTHING! Lord of the damned, heir to all Hail the broken, hail the chained In dungeons where the gods are slain BOW! Before the crown of rust and bone [Verse 2] My scepter is a fractured spine My jewels are eyes that once were mine The court is filled with hollow cheers Echoes feeding on my fears Demons kneel but mock my reign They know my empire is pure pain A castle built on sinking sand A monarch with no living hand [Bridge – Spoken over organ] I conquered nothing but myself And lost the only thing worth wealth… [Breakdown – Heavy chugging riffs] OFF WITH MY HEAD! LONG LIVE THE DEAD! [Final Chorus – Double choir] KING OF NOTHING! Crowned in rust and bone Forever ruling… forever alone
