[Intro] Ash on the altar, dust in the crown One last bell is falling down [Verse 1] You drew the seal across the stone You called this ruin yours alone But beneath the floor, beneath the flame A buried thunder speaks my name [Pre-Chorus] Count every scar, count every sin The locked gate breaks from within [Chorus] Rise, final guardian, open your eyes Black iron wings in the temple sky No prayer can hold me, no chain can stay I bring the end of your borrowed reign [Verse 2] The old machines begin to turn Blue sparks crawl where the dead roots burn Your golden mask starts coming apart I hear the fault line under your heart [Pre-Chorus] Count every scar, count every sin The locked gate breaks from within [Chorus] Rise, final guardian, open your eyes Black iron wings in the temple sky No prayer can hold me, no chain can stay I bring the end of your borrowed reign [Bridge] Quiet now—hear the stone divide There is nowhere left to hide [Scream] Break the seal! Bring it down! [Breakdown] One step One strike One breath Then the world goes white [Final Chorus] Rise, final guardian, open your eyes Black iron wings in the temple sky No prayer can hold me, no chain can stay I bring the end of your borrowed reign [Outro] When the last red ember dies A new sun burns behind my eyes
