Intro

Sovereign

Sovereign of slaughter

Kneel

Verse 1

Crimson rivers carve the altar stone

Throats opened wide for the throne

Priests of the pit chant low and deep

Their hymns are wounds that never sleep

Incense burns from rendered fat

I crown myself with bone and wrath

Pre-Chorus

Every prayer is a scream

Every scream is a psalm

Every psalm is a blade

Chorus

Sovereign of slaughter

I reign in the gore

Sovereign of slaughter

Your god is no more

Sovereign of slaughter

The blood is the door

Sovereign of slaughter

Bow down to the war

Verse 2

Choirs of flies rise from the pyre

Flesh is the offering fire requires

Ribs arranged in a sacred arc

I baptize the dark with the dark

Disciples crawl through the viscera sea

They carve my name into their deity

Pre-Chorus

Every wound is a word

Every word is a rite

Every rite is a wound

Chorus

Sovereign of slaughter

I reign in the gore

Sovereign of slaughter

Your god is no more

Sovereign of slaughter

The blood is the door

Sovereign of slaughter

Bow down to the war

I am the scripture written in meat

I am the sermon your veins repeat

Marrow my gospel tendon my creed

Slaughter my kingdom and hunger my need

Verse 3

Hacked hollowed hung from the nave

Sinners and saints share a shallow grave

Sovereign seated on a spine-built throne

Harvesting worship from marrow and bone

Tithe me your terror your tremor your trust

I return it as ash I return it as rust

Pre-Chorus

Every scream is a prayer

Every prayer is a plea

Every plea is denied

Chorus

Sovereign of slaughter

I reign in the gore

Sovereign of slaughter

Your god is no more

The blood is the door

Sovereign of slaughter

Bow down to the war
