How much flesh for one more act? When the crowd stops playing dead Will you still sleep in that bed? (wake up) [Instrumental Break] [Guitar solo over a slow Stomping riff Bending into a frantic Spiraling run before locking back into the main groove] [Chorus] Rust on the crown It’s flaking down All of your thrones are sinking now You can’t drown out a breaking sound We are the cracks In your solid ground [Outro] Rust on the crown Hear it grind Hear it grind (hey!) Walls come down Brick by brick this time Names on marble Washed in acid rain Your statue’s falling We’ll sweep away your name [Riff repeats and fades under distant crowd chants of “rust on the crown” before cutting to dead silence]
