All the Pretty Things Bleed

All the Pretty Things Bleed [Intro] No more prayers No more kings Ash remembers Everything [Verse 1] Every skyline looks infected Every promise built to rot Everybody sells forgiveness Like it's something that they bought I've been watching from the shadows While you sharpened every lie Funny how you fear the darkness After teaching it to rise [Pre-Chorus] Don't call me your monster You built every bone Don't call this destruction I'm bringing you home [Chorus] All the pretty things bleed Every flower feeds the flame Nothing living stays unbroken Nothing holy stays the same All the pretty things bleed Watch your kingdoms disappear If the world won't stop pretending I'll erase it without fear All the pretty things bleed [Verse 2] Children learning from the wolves now Saints are trading halos in Every courtroom sells redemption To the highest bidder's grin So I'll carve away the sickness One more heartbeat at a time Mercy's just another weapon When it's wielded by the blind [Pre-Chorus] Call me wicked Call me cursed Someone had to Strike first [Chorus] All the pretty things bleed Every flower feeds the flame Nothing living stays unbroken Nothing holy stays the same All the pretty things bleed Every empire turns to dust You keep praying for tomorrow I don't believe in trust All the pretty things bleed [Bridge] I don't hate the world I hate what it became The masks The crowns The money The names Burn every throne Level every wall Sometimes the only mercy Is watching kingdoms fall [Breakdown] Ashes. Ashes. Ashes. It... all... falls... down [Final Chorus] All the pretty things bleed Every garden has to die Every paradise is poison When corruption owns the sky All the pretty things bleed Let the old world choke on smoke I'll build heaven from the ashes Brick by brick Bone by bone [Outro] When the fire finally ends... The world will rise again... All the pretty things bleed All th epretty things bleed
