Throne of Ash

[Intro] The altar gives way… the censer collapses… We built our thrones on the bones of light. [Build] [Verse 1] Halo in ruin, the amber guttered out Saints like statues swallow dust and doubt Candles drown in iron tears of rain The bell tolls slow — a hymn turned to pain [Pre-Chorus] We carved our names in the spine of God We called for dawn — and called the rod [Chorus] On the Throne of Ash — we kneel and break God’s breath turned coal, no dawn to make Our prayers are graves, our hymns are drawn The sky is ash, the light is gone BREAKDOWN I HEAR THE PILLARS BREAK — THE ALTAR SHUDDERS — WE TAKE THE CROWN! [Bridge] I walked among their broken vows Collected crowns from hollow brows [Verse 2] Ash blooms where angels used to kneel The skin of heavens peels like seal We fed the night its final hymn The empire sinks and none begin *[Pre-Break] BURY THE CROWN — BURY THE LIGHT! “Mors regnat. Lux consumitur.” ( it means:Death reigns. Light is consumed.) FALL — FALL — FALL [Final Chorus] On the Throne of Ash — we rise in dust Our graves are light, our faith is rust Sing the final psalm of bones We take our place — we take our thrones [Outro] The sky remembers nothing… Only the ash remembers us.
