[Intro][Erie whispers and echoes] Trust in no one but yourself, they want to see you in the dirt, trust in nothing, make them hurt (Verse 1) I built my kingdom with my hands Brick by brick on burning sands Sweat and blood, the price I pay But the wolves still call my name (Pre-Chorus) Sirens wail, they hunt me down Truth is lost, the lies are loud They say, "Confess and you'll be free" But chains are all I see (Chorus) I rise, I fall, I bleed, I crawl They take it all, they take it all A crown of dust, a broken throne Now I stand here all alone (Verse 2) I see the walls, they close around No mercy left in this ghost town Shadows creep where honor dies Every word is laced with lies (Pre-Chorus) Sirens wail, they hunt me down Truth is lost, the lies are loud They say, "Confess and you'll be free" But chains are all I see (Chorus) I rise, I fall, I bleed, I crawl They take it all, they take it all A crown of dust, a broken throne Now I stand here all alone (Bridge – Spoken/Whispered) They twist the knife, they set the stage Justice rots inside a cage A puppet show, a hollow plea But I won’t bend, they won’t break me (Outro – Explosive & Heavy) I built my kingdom, watched it burn No home, no name, nowhere to turn They take it all, they take it all But I won’t kneel, I will not fall!
