[Verse 1] Ash on his tongue Blood in his nails Hands that once shook Now tip broken scales He walks through the crater Of everything burned Calling it justice For a world that never learned [Pre-Chorus] Every scream Fades to gray He keeps walking He won't look away [Chorus] He leaves dust in his wake Every breath makes something break If the world won't bend He'll watch it fall instead Scars that itch like fate Tell him love showed up too late So he pulls that hurt Like a cloak around his head Tomura, king of the dead [Verse 2] Voices all layered Father, teacher, ghost Names carved in silence On the ones he lost the most Power like poison Blooming in his veins He smiles at the ruin Says, "I finally know my name" [Pre-Chorus] Every plea Sounds the same Begging him To play a different game [Chorus] He leaves dust in his wake Every breath makes something break If the world won't bend He'll watch it fall instead Scars that itch like fate Tell him love showed up too late So he pulls that hurt Like a cloak around his head Tomura, king of the dead [Bridge] Is there a child Still buried inside Under the rubble Of that one last "why"? If someone reached Through all that decay Would he grab their hand Or tear it away? (tear it away) [Chorus] He leaves dust in his wake Every breath makes something break If the world won't bend He'll watch it fall instead Scars that itch like fate Tell him love showed up too late So he crowns himself On a throne of what he shed Tomura, king of the dead
