6. Crown of Iron and Clay

V5.5

​Verse 1 ​Born of the stars, but anchored to the stone They didn't ask to wear an earthly crown Yet stature grew beyond the mortal bone And shadow fell across the ancient town The offspring of the Watchers took the throne And turned the sacred songs to iron sound ​Verse 2 ​They built the towers towering to the cloud With heavy hands that carved the granite deep The voice of humanity, once bright and loud Was silenced into servitude and sleep The giant kings stood distant, cold, and proud While beneath the stone, the silent captives weep ​Chorus ​Oh, the Nephilim kings upon their throne of gold The ancient rulers of a world bought and sold They bound the hands that tilled the fertile ground In chains of bronze, where no escape was found From light divine to dark imperial reign Humanity bound in endless chain ​Verse 3 ​They claimed the wisdom taught from heaven’s height To build the engines and to forge the blade No longer guardians of the gentle light But tyrants of the realm their fathers made They ruled the day, they dominated night And over all the earth, a shadow laid ​Bridge ​The cries arose against the towering wall A plea for justice to the skies above To break the bondage and to break the thrall Of power born without the balance of love The giant thrones were destined soon to fall When heaven moves to free the gentle dove ​Outro ​The golden crowns begin to turn to rust The ancient fortresses will fall to dust Though kings of old once claimed the sea and air The quiet earth remembers who was there... In chains no more... In darkness no more.
