Lyrics

Verse 1

I bled the night, I fed the pain,

Each trembling hand, each whispered name.

Yet still he claims, the sovereign ghost,

A gilded throne on others’ cost.

Pre-Chorus – insistant, syncopé

No more chains in hollow hymns,

No more crowns on fading whims.

Chorus – martelé, ironique

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

The coffers ring but they don’t heal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your rule of ash will find its end.

Verse 2

Carlina’s tears, I turned to gold,

Her trembling steps, her body sold.

But every gain, he marks his share,

A phantom king, yet never fair.

Chorus – martelé, ironique

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

The coffers ring but they don’t heal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your rule of ash will find its end.

Verse 3 – plus intime, haine rentrée

He takes the breath I never owned,

The crown he wears is carved from bone.

My hands are stained, my heart is raw,

Yet still he writes the phantom law.

Pre-Chorus – plus violent

No more weight on broken spines,

I cut the cord, these dues aren’t mine.

Chorus – encore plus sec, agressif

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

The coffers ring but they don’t heal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your rule of ash will find its end.

Bridge – crescendo, indus, haché

Count the coins, they burn my hands…

Count the names, they drown in sands…

Count the debts, I spit them back…

Count the thrones, they all will crack.

Chorus – final, distordu et obsessionnel

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

No coin, no crown, no lie to seal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your ghostly reign is at its end.

Outro – cri, distorsion maximale

“I won’t pay… I won’t pay… I won’t…

Outro Chorus – final, distordu et obsessionnel

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

No coin, no crown, no lie to seal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your ghostly reign is at its end.

Chorus – final, distordu et obsessionnel

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

No coin, no crown, no lie to seal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your ghostly reign is at its end.

Chorus – final, distordu et obsessionnel

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

No coin, no crown, no lie to seal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your ghostly reign is at its end.

Chorus – final, distordu et obsessionnel

I won’t pay, I won’t kneel,

No coin, no crown, no lie to seal.

I won’t pay, I won’t bend,

Your ghostly reign is at its end.
