[Verse 1]
White teeth on the TV
Red ink on the law
Gold ink on the menu
While we chew the cost raw
They smile in the siren light
Shake hands
Hide the knife
Turn truth into target practice
On everyone’s life
[Chorus]
All hail the hollow crown
Rot drips down
Drips down
You sell our blood
To buy your stones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones
Raise my voice like a Molotov
Name by name
We’re calling you off
You built this cage
From broken bones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Black cars at the back gate
Briefcase
Dead eyes
They toast to the fallout
While we choke on their lies
They oath on a burned book
Swear “order
” mean “fear”
Sign deals in a dark room
We pay for each year
[Chorus]
All hail the hollow crown
Rot drips down
Drips down
You sell our blood
To buy your stones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones
Raise my voice like a Molotov
Name by name
We’re calling you off
You built this cage
From broken bones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones
[Bridge]
How much is a heartbeat
On your balance sheet?
How many kids in the crossfire
Till you call it “complete”?
You hide behind flags
Like armor plates
But every chant outside your gates
Is sharpening hate (yeah!)
[Chorus]
All hail the hollow crown
Rot drips down
Drips down
You sell our blood
To buy your stones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones
Raise my voice like a Molotov
Name by name
We’re tearing you off
You wrote our fate
In bullet tones
We’re coming for your
Empty thrones (empty thrones!)
