[Verse 1]
This is the last time they'll control us
The final refuse of the damned
For all our lives we've seen betrayal from the righteous
Led astray by shackled hands
[Pre-Chorus]
We're falling
Descending
Tongues are removed from empty heads
Our fate is unchosen
Our courage rises from the dead
[Chorus]
We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster eyes
[Verse 2]
We've cast aside our shriveled casings
Make it more than meets the eye
Held up by slaves that wish they'd never see the daylight
Cast our blood across the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
They're folding
Eroding
Bound to their voices after all
Expect our resistance
It's now or never, one for all!
[Chorus]
We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster eyes
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster–
We've been crowned the kings of embers, my friends
Risen from the smoke and ashes
Rulers the burning kingdom of man
Is staring back with alabaster eyes
