Lyrics
[Verse 1] Silk Thin silk
Heavy red curtains
I watch the yard below
You swing a heavy iron blade
Sweat slick on a hard tanned back
Muscle
Hard muscle
Twisting like a river
I forget the women in my room
Their painted faces look like dust now
I just want to see you move
[Chorus] Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Break the crown and take me down
I want to feel you on my skin
I want to let the ruin in
I am the master of the throne
But I am tired of being alone
Break the crown and take me down
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
Down to the floor
Oh oh oh
Take it all
[Verse 2] Steam
White steam
Rising from the bath
I saw you sinking in the heat
Chest rising slow while you closed your eyes
Wet hair matted to a thick neck
Strong
So strong
The way you hold yourself
I want to be the thing you break
I want to feel the weight of your hands
Forget the law and take what is mine
I want your rough palms on my throat
I want the heat of your breath
[Chorus] Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Break the crown and take me down
I want to feel you on my skin
I want to let the ruin in
I am the master of the throne
But I am tired of being alone
Break the crown and take me down
[Bridge] Forbidden
Forgotten
Forgiven
I don't care about the lineage
I don't care about the palace walls
Let them whisper in the hallways
Let them judge the fallen king
I just want to feel your pulse
I just want to feel your heart
I just want to feel your strength
Defile me
Command me
Consume me
[Chorus] Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Break the crown and take me down
I want to feel you on my skin
I want to let the ruin in
I am the master of the throne
But I am tired of being alone
Break the crown and take me down
[Outro] Beneath you
Beneath you
The empire is nothing
Just stay
Just stay
Just stay
