Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy
[Verse 2]
Burn them—burn them to the ground
Destroy them—they're useless to us now
[Verse 3]
Tear down reminders of a crownless king
This impostor claims authority
Indignation is closing in
You choose a war, a war you cannot win
[Verse 4]
No one—no one can save you now
Cast down—where no mercy can be found
No willingness to bow to a king without a crown
Where the virtuous can't be found
[Verse 5]
Defy you—to the depths you descend
I defy you—to the death we defend
Defy you—your rule will come to an end
I defy you—you've become the crownless king
[Verse 6]
The penitent pray for the downfall
Of your, of your reign
The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints
In the end you will suffer
[Verse 7]
Defy you—to the depths you descend
I defy you—to the death we defend
Defy you—your rule will come to an end
I defy you—you've become the crownless king
[Verse 8]
This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks
The framework breaks
[Verse 9]
To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you—I defy you
Defy you—we defy you
