[Verse 1] I crawled from the pit alive Hate in my ribs, iron in my spine They called me monster, called me weak Now I make the brave men kneel and speak I don't beg, I don't blink I drag the truth through the gutter sink Every scar on my body says The old world dies in my wake [Pre-Chorus] Hear that tread, hear that grind I'm the ending they left behind Close your eyes if you can The machine in me has got a plan [Chorus] Shotguns for knees Kneel, then bleed Shotguns for knees You don't run from me Shotguns for knees Hear the steel go free Shotguns for knees I turn fear to debris [Verse 2] Six legs of wrath, one twisted crown I drag the proud ones to the ground Your armor cracks when I swing this frame I learned pain, then I mastered shame They stitched me up with a butcher's thread Now I speak in the sound of dread Every step leaves a broken prayer I make whole cities stare [Pre-Chorus] Hear that tread, hear that grind I'm the ending they left behind Close your eyes if you can The machine in me has got a plan [Chorus] Shotguns for knees Kneel, then bleed Shotguns for knees You don't run from me Shotguns for knees Hear the steel go free Shotguns for knees I turn fear to debris [Bridge] I was the castoff The knife in the dark The world made me this Now I leave my mark Come closer, little king Taste what I became When my legs start singing There's nobody left to blame [Final Chorus] Shotguns for knees Kneel, then bleed Shotguns for knees You don't run from me Shotguns for knees Hear the steel go free Shotguns for knees I turn fear to debris Shotguns for knees I was built to reap Shotguns for knees Now the whole world sinks
