Lyrics
[Intro] Beneath the weight, the buried pressure turns Stone splits open where the black earth burns [Verse 1] Iron dust coats every breath i take Old foundations buckle, walls awake I drag the chain through a field of broken names Feed the furnace, give the dead their flames [Pre-Chorus] No mercy in the ground No shelter underground The weight comes down [Chorus] Crush the crown, erase the throne Grind the living marrow into stone When the last command is swallowed by the dirt Only the hunger knows what we are worth [Verse 2] Engines cough beneath a rusted sky Buried hands reach up but never rise Every promise welded shut with molten lead Every road ends where the cowards fled [Breakdown] Lock the gates Break the spine Take the breath Make it mine [Verse 3] Faster now, the teeth of time attack Blackened veins run hot across my back I hear the final warning split the air Turn the blade and meet it without fear [Chorus] Crush the crown, erase the throne Grind the living marrow into stone When the last command is swallowed by the dirt Only the hunger knows what we are worth [Bridge] The pit has no bottom The wound has no scar We become the burden We become what we are [Final chorus] Crush the crown, erase the throne Leave no monument, no marked-up stone When the last command is swallowed by the dirt Only the hunger knows what we are worth [Outro] Ash settles slowly on the empty field The battered earth refuses still to yield Far below, the pressure keeps its hold And the dark breathes on, patient, cold
