Killswitch Engage – The Crownless King lyrics

[Intro]
Go

[Verse 1]
Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy
Burn them, burn them to the ground
Destroy them, they're useless to us now

[Verse 2]
Tear down reminders of a crownless king
This impostor claims authority
Indignation is closing in
You choose a war, a war you cannot win
No one, no one can save you now
Cast down where no mercy can be found
No willingness to bow to a king without a crown
Where the virtuous can't be found

[Chorus]
Defy you, to the depths you descend
I defy you, to the death we defend
Defy you, your rule will come to an end
I defy you, you've become the crownless king

[Verse 3]
The penitent pray for the downfall of your
Of your reign
The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints
In the end you will suffer

[Chorus]
Defy you, to the depths you descend
I defy you, to the death we defend
Defy you, your rule will come to an end
I defy you, you've become the crownless king

[Bridge]
This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks, yeah
The framework breaks

[Outro]
To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you, I defy you
Defy you, we defy you
