[Verse 1] He smiles for the lens While the bread gets thin Signs his name in red Then he calls it help Towers in the fog Built on bent-out backs He points at the crowd Like they made his traps Keys in the fist Boots on the neck Promises rot In the palace wreck He eats with a grin From a stolen plate Then he blesses the fools With a staged-up fate [Pre-Chorus] Hear that door lock turn Hear the hall go cold Every word he swears Got a hook in gold [Chorus] Blood crown, blood crown He wears it like a curse (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown The people pay first Blood crown, blood crown He feeds on the flame (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown Remember his name [Verse 2] He pets the dogs While the wolves do work Writes clean little laws With a dirty smirk He calls it order When the windows break Calls it peace When the knees all ache Paper-thin saints In a smoke-filled room Nodding at lies Like a wedding tune He moves the goal Then blames the game Points at the mirror Spits out blame [Pre-Chorus] Hear that door lock turn Hear the hall go cold Every word he swears Got a hook in gold [Chorus] Blood crown, blood crown He wears it like a curse (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown The people pay first Blood crown, blood crown He feeds on the flame (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown Remember his name [Bridge] One day the keys will shake One day the floor will split One day the mask comes off And the crowd won’t sit No silk can hide that stain No gold can buy that night When the lies come back They come with teeth in sight [Final Chorus] Blood crown, blood crown He wears it like a curse (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown The people pay first Blood crown, blood crown He feeds on the flame (blood crown) Blood crown, blood crown Remember his name
