[Intro] Three faces turn where the black gates rise A horned crown beneath divided skies [Verse 1] From the high court I fell without a sound Left a throne of fire for a buried ground Now I count forty banners in the dust Every vow is a blade, every promise rust [Pre-Chorus] Bull for the hunger, man for the plan Ram for the charge when the hour began Three mouths, one counsel, no hand unbound I build my kingdom where the lost are found [Chorus] Balam, speak the word and the battlements bend Balam, every ally becomes an end Forty legions turn when you raise your hand Prince of the dark with a silver command [Verse 2] I place a cup beside the enemy's chair Leave one truth and a thousand traps there The scholar sees mercy, the soldier sees gold The frightened see futures they cannot control [Pre-Chorus] Bull for the hunger, man for the plan Ram for the charge when the hour began Three roads converge beneath one name A patient spark becomes a field of flame [Chorus] Balam, speak the word and the battlements bend Balam, every ally becomes an end Forty legions turn when you raise your hand Prince of the dark with a silver command [Instrumental] [Bridge] Once I guarded the morning gate Now I teach the proud to negotiate No chain is stronger than the fear it hides No wall survives when doubt walks inside [Breakdown] Count the horns Count the feet Count the hearts beneath the steel Three faces One design Forty shadows fall in line [Final Chorus] Balam, speak the word and the battlements bend Balam, every kingdom becomes an end Forty legions turn through the ash and sand Prince of the dark with a silver command Balam, three faces beneath one crown Balam, watch the ancient heavens drown From fallen grace to a throne of flame All roads grow still when they hear your name [Outro] Bull, man, ram beneath the crown Forty banners settling down A former angel, cold and wise Keeps his counsel behind three eyes
