The Crown of Rust (versie 2)

Verse

Iron teeth in the floor

Blood hums with every door

The crown was worn by kings long dead

Now it's held up by a thousand heads

Pre-Chorus

The tide keeps rising through my veins

Every heartbeat is a chain

Cut loose what you're not made for

Let the current take us lower

Chorus

I wear the crown of rust and gold

Bolts in my neck, no name to hold

The whole floor's a drum I don't own

This is how we rule alone

Verse 2

Rivets shine where the light leaks through

Shadows move like they know what to do

Steel fingers on the iron gate

We're not kings, we just wait for the weight

Pre-Chorus

The tide keeps rising through my veins

Every heartbeat is a chain

Cut loose what you're not made for

Let the current take us lower

Chorus

I wear the crown of rust and gold

Bolts in my neck, no name to hold

The whole floor's a drum I don't own

This is how we rule alone

Bridge

No hands built this throne

Just the pulse and the stone

Every joint holds a spark of fire

We're not bound by desire

Cut every chain that binds us tight

Rise up into the light

Chorus

I wear the crown of rust and gold

Bolts in my neck, no name to hold

The whole floor's a drum I don't own

This is how we rule alone
