lyrics

Buried beneath the ground
I will never forget that day
I watched you fall from the sky like lightning (Like lightning)
Buried beneath the ground
Projected to the core
Magma-scorched flesh
You crawled out of the pit
A magnificent horror, detestable
Forced to walk in scorn and contempt
The new kingdom began with a crown of flames (Crown of flames)

With words like swords and a heart filled with hate
Retribution shall be cast on all that defy
This world is ours
There are none greater to limit our vision
Humanity is on its knees
Begging for a taste of what they will never have
Purity never complete

Bury these words in your heart
At the death of dawn
The stars will emerge
Thrones above thrones
We give crowns to kings
We fear no other

We have defiled the cherished inception
As we maraud this formation
The arched latitude leaves nothing concealed
The truest form of rebellion
The revolution of subordination
When all was passed, you were seized
Into the void
Even greater in force
Unlimited hunger for death

Bury these words in your heart
At the death of dawn
The stars will emerge
Thrones above thrones
We give crowns to kings
We fear no other
