Thirteenth Prince (Alternate)

Verse 1

Twelve shadows took the throne before me

Each one carved their name in colder stone

I was born last in line for the nightmare

They never even left me a bone

Pre-Chorus

Faint candle flicker in the hollow hall

Thirteenth name not written on the wall

Chorus

I'm the thirteenth prince of darkness

Last to take my place

Number burned into my ledger

Shadow on my face

Post-Chorus

Thirteenth prince

Thirteenth prince

Verse 2

My brothers wear their crowns of dying light

Mine is made of nothing but the rain

They count their legions in the screaming night

I count the empty hours in my veins

Pre-Chorus

Faint candle flicker in the hollow hall

Thirteenth name not written on the wall

Chorus

I'm the thirteenth prince of darkness

Last to take my place

Number burned into my ledger

Shadow on my face

Bridge

Maybe I don't need a kingdom

Maybe I don't need a war

I'll make my own inferno

From what they all ignored

Breakdown

Thirteen

Thirteen

Thirteen

Chorus

I'm the thirteenth prince of darkness

Last to take my place

Number burned into my ledger

Shadow on my face
