Ash on the Tongue

[Intro] Ash on the tongue, iron in the air Something is waiting, already there [Verse 1] You built your throne from borrowed bones Now every step shakes through the stones I hear the lock, I know the sound Your safest walls are falling down [Pre-Chorus] Count every breath Measure the cost You called it power I call it lost [Chorus] Come closer, face what you made No clean escape, no debt repaid When the low end tears through the ground You’ll hear my name in the breakdown [Drop] Cut the chain Break the frame Darkness answers Name by name [Verse 2] Black thread pulled through a broken hand One wrong move and you lose command The room goes cold, the signs turn red A crooked crown sits on your head [Pre-Chorus] Count every breath Measure the cost You called it power I call it lost [Chorus] Come closer, face what you made No clean escape, no debt repaid When the low end tears through the ground You’ll hear my name in the breakdown [Bridge] No mercy in the engine No shelter in the smoke The truth arrives with teeth out And every promise broke [Final Drop] Cut the chain Break the frame Darkness answers Name by name Bring it down Grind it black Once it starts There’s no way back [Outro] Ash on the tongue, iron in the air Nothing is waiting I’m already there
