Devour the Altar

Intro

Hollow crown, cracked bone throne

(ha! ha!)

Rasping wind — gather, gather

(grr, grr)

Verse

Ashen teeth bite at the dawn

Clawing marrow from the lies

Blackened tongues smear the sky

Where the faithful rot and die

Iron veins, a rusted hymn

Spill the ledger, sever limb

Marching feet of wasted kings

Bound in chains of broken rings

Pre-chorus

Rise, fall, the carcass calls (rise, fall)

Tear the seals, unmake the walls

Chorus

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Verse

Guttering faith in sulfur rain

Names erased, no one remains

Serrated oaths cut through the void

Promises left to be destroyed

Flesh remembers every sin

Keeps the score beneath the skin

Grinding teeth and grinding bone

Hear the verdict — never atone

Pre-chorus

Rise, fall, the carcass calls (rise, fall)

Tear the seals, unmake the walls

Chorus

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Bridge

(ta-ta-ta) Shred the last of daylight

(ha-uh) Sunder throats of silvered lies

(ka-ka) Bones in chorus, drums of doom

(ah-ah) Watch the pillars bleed to bloom

Chorus

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone

Devour the altar, break the stone
