[Verse 1]

Cowering on a blood throne

Weak fingers grip to gold

Feeding on all the carcasses

Of the souls you've sold

Towering over absence

Behind a vicious veil

Sacrifice of a sacred life

Hammer in the nail


[Pre-Chorus]

Take back the legion

Down with the crown

Truth over treason


[Chorus]

Tyrant, your kingdom will burn, burn

You'll never learn

Ground up and fed to the worms

You're better off dead, dead

Off with your head

Paint the palace crimson red

Your kingdom will burn


[Post-Chorus]

I'll never bow down

I'll sever the head off of the snake

I'll tear through the crown

I'll wear you down until you break


[Verse 2]

Commanding from the shadows

Four horned rams face the field

Hiding behind the skeletons of the kin you've killed

Withering in the madness

Corruption won't prevail

Evil feeds on the wicked greed

Unholy grail


[Pre-Chorus]

Take back the legion

Down with the crown

Truth over treason


[Chorus]

Tyrant, your kingdom will burn, burn

You'll never learn

Ground up and fed to the worms

You're better off dead, dead

Off with your head

Paint the palace crimson red

Your kingdom will burn


[Post-Chorus]

I'll never bow down

I'll sever the head off of the snake

I'll tear through the crown

I'll wear you down until you break


[Bridge]

Bound by your feet

Dragged through the street

Vultures awaiting the festering meat

The fatal swing

The death bells ring

I am the back breaker

I am the king slayer

Bound by your feet

Dragged through the street

Vultures awaiting the festering meat

The fatal swing

The death bells ring

Behold the head of the fallen king


[Chorus]

Your kingdom will burn, burn

You'll never learn

Ground up and fed to the worms

You're better off dead, dead

Off with your head

Paint the palace crimson red

Your kingdom will burn
