[Verse 1]
Golden chairs
Rotting wood
Smiles stained with old blood
Shaking hands
Hiding knives
Counting coins while counting lives
Black cars
Tinted truth
Paper crowns sold as proof
Every law
Loaded dice
We pay cost
They name price
[Chorus]
Burn the throne to dust
Wear their crown of rust
Every lie they sold us
Now it’s choking in their lungs (scream it)
We are not your prey
You will learn today
When the hungry finally bite
You’ll be begging for the night
[Verse 2]
Poison ink
Crooked pens
Twist the truth
Call it sense
Feed us fear
Feed us rage
Lock us in a shrinking cage
Cheap suits
Heavy chains
Dripping oil on our names
They toast war
We dig graves
Smile wide while owning slaves
[Chorus]
Burn the throne to dust
Wear their crown of rust
Every lie they sold us
Now it’s choking in their lungs (yeah)
We are not your prey
You will learn today
When the hungry finally bite
You’ll be begging for the night
[Bridge]
[Halftime
Drums drop to toms
Vocals low and vicious]
How much blood buys one more year?
How much silence
How much fear?
Turn our backs
They take our breath
Turn and face them
(they taste death)
[Chorus]
Burn the throne to dust
Wear their crown of rust
Every lie they sold us
Now it’s choking in their lungs (let it choke)
We are not your prey
You will break today
When the nameless start to rise
You will answer every cry
