Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
[Verse 1]
The moon hangs low over the marble halls
The lords drink deep while the kingdom crawls
We've slept too long under their velvet spell
Carved our names in the church bells
[Pre-Chorus]
But the night is turning
The hour glass is burning
[Chorus]
We won't kneel to the crimson crown
Rise up from the shadow of their gown
Every grave we've dug is opening now
Blood on the cobblestones is our war cry now
[Post-Chorus]
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
[Verse 2]
They took our grain and they took our youth
Wrote their laws in immortal truth
But mortal hands learn sharper things
Cold steel and the songs we sing
[Pre-Chorus]
And the crows are gathering
Their towers are shattering
[Chorus]
We won't kneel to the crimson crown
Rise up from the shadow of their gown
Every grave we've dug is opening now
Blood on the cobblestones is our war cry now
[Post-Chorus]
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
[Bridge]
The sun won't come for a thousand years
But we'll light the pyre with our fears
Let the ancient kings drink dust tonight
Dawn or death we'll end this fight
[Chorus]
We won't kneel to the crimson crown
Rise up from the shadow of their gown
Every grave we've dug is opening now
Blood on the cobblestones is our war cry now
[Post-Chorus]
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
