Paper Crowns and Heavy Stones

Chorus

Long live the ruler on the heavy throne

Power blooming through the seed he sowed alone

Cold wind carried all the rivals far away

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Verse 1

Iron chest

He knows no shaking fear

When the leader speaks the crowds stay still to hear

Law and peace

Held tight within his palm

Ruling through the storm with a steady kind of calm

Pre-Chorus

He watches

He waits

He decides all the fates

Everything belongs to him

Chorus

Long live the ruler on the heavy throne

Power blooming through the seed he sowed alone

Cold wind carried all the rivals far away

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Verse 2

Many neighbors want a brother with his mind

Calculated thoughts are very hard to find

Order in the chaos

He knows how to play the game

Even ancient gods would tremble at his name

Pre-Chorus

He watches

He waits

He decides all the fates

Everything belongs to him

Chorus

Long live the ruler on the heavy throne

Power blooming through the seed he sowed alone

Cold wind carried all the rivals far away

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Bridge

Vices of the girl who wears a different mask

Theater and lies are such a simple task

But no room for sin stays inside the castle wall

He would send her where she'd never stand at all

Chorus

Long live the ruler on the heavy throne

Power blooming through the seed he sowed alone

Cold wind carried all the rivals far away

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Verse 3

Lies vanish

Pretense falls behind

Justice isn't something that the weak will find

Tongue of fire

Words that never reach the light

Justice for the one who controls the long night

Chorus

Long live the ruler on the heavy throne

Power blooming through the seed he sowed alone

Cold wind carried all the rivals far away

Stronger than the ink upon the page today

Stronger than the ink upon the page today
