Crown of Vermin

[Intro] The throne is empty… and I am the swarm. Their prayers crawl. Their wings decay. [Verse 1] Flies crown the lips of the holy dead, Ash rains down where angels bled. Eyes like glass, faith turned to rust, Heaven’s empire chokes on dust! The sacred burns in radiant black! [Pre-Chorus] Sinners sing in static tongues, Their psalms ignite the wounded young. [Chorus] Crown of vermin — throne of flame, Glory’s corpse forgets its name! Echoes crawl through heaven’s gate, I am the plague your gods create! [Verse 2] Feast on light, devour the dawn, Seraph wings are ripped and drawn. Blood on scripture, teeth on prayer, Your halo burns — I’ll meet you there! *[Mid-Section] Domine mortuus… gloria fracta… (translation: “Lord of death, broken glory”) Your kingdom bleeds from hollow skies. *[BREAKDOWN] Tear out your faith — FEED IT TO ME! GODLESS! FORMLESS! ETERNITY! *[Bridge] I built a throne from your decay, And sat in silence as stars fell away. (scream layered behind last line) The silence screams — it bears my name! *[BREAKDOWN II-Seriously How many breakdowns Do I need?] I AM THE END, I AM THE WORM! CROWNED IN THE BLOOD OF THE SERAPHIM BORN! The light dissolves — the heavens mourn! *[Final Chorus] Crown of vermin — kingdom torn, From death I rise — and faith is sworn! (clean echo) I am the plague your gods create... *[Final Breakdown / Outro] WE ARE THE SWARM! (reverb scream fading) — the kingdom is gone...
