Glass Crown

[Intro]
[Verse]
Marble floors are cold tonight
Shattered glass in pale moonlight
We were kings in golden halls
Now we rot within these walls
Lipstick stains the white stone red
Long live the living dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Starving for a holy sign
Taste the bitter, vintage wine
My devotion is a blade
Watch the royal colors fade
[Chorus]
Heavy is the hollow crown
Watch the empire burning down
Feed me till the morning light
I am yours for one more night
Icy skin and velvet breath
Dancing on the edge of death
[Post-Chorus]
Blood and gold
Never old
In the dark
Leave a mark
[Verse]
Moth-eaten cloaks and dusty lace
Hide the sorrow on my face
The organ plays a broken chord
I am my own restless lord
Ancient heart in a modern cage
Turning every hollow page
[Pre-Chorus]
Starving for a holy sign
Taste the bitter, vintage wine
My devotion is a blade
Watch the royal colors fade
[Chorus]
Heavy is the hollow crown
Watch the empire burning down
Feed me till the morning light
I am yours for one more night
Icy skin and velvet breath
Dancing on the edge of death
[Bridge]
A thousand years is just a day
When all the colors turn to gray
The sub-bass rattles in my chest
I never found a place to rest
No rest
No rest
[Hook]
Drink it in
Original sin
Under the skin
Let it begin
[Chorus]
Heavy is the hollow crown
Watch the empire burning down
Feed me till the morning light
I am yours for one more night
Icy skin and velvet breath
Dancing on the edge of death
[Outro]
