[Verse 1]
Grey-suited vultures
Laugh in velvet halls
Counting our wages
Stacked in marble walls
Meanwhile
We're bleeding
Under neon glare
Paper-thin promises
Poison in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Step after step
We keep feeding the crown
Brick after brick
They keep building us down
[Chorus]
Teeth in the throne
Yeah
They’re chewing our bones (chewing our bones)
Gold in their veins
While they auction our homes
Name by name
We are carving in stone
From the dirt to the gallows
We drag their empire down
[Verse 2]
Backroom agreements
Signed in shadowed rooms
Smiles on the cameras
Ink that smells like fumes
While we’re still waiting
For a straight
Clean word
They twist every sentence
Till justice is blurred
[Pre-Chorus]
Lie after lie
They repaint the cage
Day after day
We keep swallowing rage
[Chorus]
Teeth in the throne
Yeah
They’re chewing our bones (chewing our bones)
Gold in their veins
While they auction our homes
Name by name
We are carving in stone
From the dirt to the gallows
We drag their empire down
[Bridge]
So first comes the silence
Then comes the roar (hey!)
Then comes the breaking
Of every locked door
From one voice to thousands
Rising in flame
Line after line
We erase every name
[Chorus]
Teeth in the throne
Yeah
They’re chewing our bones (chewing our bones)
Gold in their veins
While they auction our homes
Name by name
We are carving in stone
From the dirt to the gallows
We drag their empire down (down)
