The Crown in the Weeds

Verse 1

Smoke rising over iron walls

Concrete crumbling beneath a weightless sky

I watched the bronze kings buckle

Cold stone faces hitting red dirt

Yesterday they owned the clouds

Today they rot in silence

Everything decays

Everything turns to dust

Chorus

I saw the giants stumble

I saw the heavens folding down

There is nothing left to pray for

The ground is pulling back

Watching it go

Watching it all go

The end is heavy and it feels like gold

Post-Chorus

Falling down

Falling down

Gone forever

Verse 2

Stars dripping like oil through black silk

Rivers stalling where the pulse used to be

Machines humming a final flat tone

I stood on the ledge of the era

Watched the maps burn blue

The crown fell in the weeds

Nobody came to claim the wreckage

Just the wind through hollow ribcages

Chorus

I saw the giants stumble

I saw the heavens folding down

There is nothing left to pray for

The ground is pulling back

Watching it go

Watching it all go

The end is heavy and it feels like gold

Bridge

Faith is a shadow stretched too thin

Gods are just statues with missing hands

Power is a fever that broke at noon

It broke at noon

It broke at noon

The air tastes like bitter copper

Chorus

I saw the giants stumble

I saw the heavens folding down

There is nothing left to pray for

The ground is pulling back

Watching it go

Watching it all go

The end is heavy and it feels like gold

Outro

Final breaths of a broken world

No more light behind the hills

Darkness heavy and certain

It is over

It is done

It is silent now

Watching it go

Watching it all go
