Bones of the Empire (wersja 2)

Verse

Iron in the marrow

Tide against the wall

Bones remember what the blood forgot

Every crown is built from broken gold

Hands reach up through the smoke and static

The weight of all our names

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it breaking

Underneath my skin

Chorus

Rise, rise, until we break the stone

Rise, rise, before they take our name

Every heartbeat wears a crown alone

Verse 2

Salt on your collarbone where the current runs

The iron learns to let us go

Something ancient waking in my chest

It's older than the empire ever was

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it breaking

Underneath my skin

Chorus

Rise, rise, until we break the stone

Rise, rise, before they take our name

Every heartbeat wears a crown alone

Bridge

No throne survives the tide that made it

We are the current now, we made it

Hands up like a hundred thousand torches

This is how the old ones fall

Chorus

Rise, rise, until we break the stone

Rise, rise, before they take our name

Every heartbeat wears a crown alone
