The Basilisk

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

From the deep where the stone turns cold

I woke to a whisper in my bones

Scales like scripture on my skin

Every oath I swore caved in

Chorus

The basilisk sees

And the basilisk waits

Crown of ember on my brow for late

I am the terror in the sainted gate

The basilisk breathes

And heaven shakes

Verse 2

They carved my name in chapel walls

Begged the light to break my fall

But kings who kneel for crooked oaths

Wear the curse inside their throats

Chorus

The basilisk sees

And the basilisk waits

Crown of ember on my brow for late

I am the terror in the sainted gate

The basilisk breathes

And heaven shakes

Bridge

Turn away (turn away)

Lest you know my face (lest you know my face)

Stone for stone (stone for stone)

Till the world's erased

Chorus

The basilisk sees

And the basilisk waits

Crown of ember on my brow for late

I am the terror in the sainted gate

The basilisk breathes

And heaven shakes
