lyrics

They threw me in the sea
Battered and broken, by those who never wanted me
And now I rise, the embers in hand
Watching and waiting because I cannot stand
No, I cannot stand
Watching and waiting because I cannot

Give it a name, it was bound to me
Taken my way, my way to breathe
Give them a name, they’re bound to me
Finally, darkness now it flees

My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again

The mountain is tired, the mountain is cold
Where will they run to when everything burns
To ashes and cinder
Finally faded, the silver and gold
Will they accept me when everything’s gone?
Glory and grace, valor and…

Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that’s not mine
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that was never mine

My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again

Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains
Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains bound to the unknown
Bound to the unknown
Fire burns on golden thrones
The invisible chains bind us

Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that’s not mine
Why oh why?
Aware of the lie but only on the inside
Falsify
Building a life on a truth that was never mine

My work, my hand, my father’s violent master plan
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, the hammer bangs again
The hammer helps the pain, the hammer bangs again
Go now, forge ahead and take the throne
The hammer bangs again, yeah it bangs again
