Lyrics
Find another songGo
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
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
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
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
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
This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks, yeah
The framework breaks
To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you, I defy you
Defy you, we defy you
