Eviscerate the Crown - Crown of Thrones Lyrics

North of the desert, South of the sea
Lies a city that knows no equal
The jewel of an Empire and there on its throne
Sits a queen, adored by her people
Power she craved, none could stand in her way
Not her brothers, or countless court of lovers

Clutching at peace, burdened by ancestors guilt
Torn asunder by Barbarians
Growing strength in the promised land
Her numbers alone, not enough (not enough)
Seizing power through seduction and wits
No price is too high, royal flesh, for royal blood

I'm here to rein in all the animals
Reclaim my throne from these barbarians
A queen descended from divinity
Foretold as the chosen one

(Bound together)
Married through blood to take the throne
Faced by non believers and protected by roman eyes
(Not forever)
Gossip spreads like fire through the streets
Of a romance so powerful it brings entire empires to their knees

Cities covered in ash, from the fires, spreading
Citizens screaming, while they flee from, the tyranny
Now all shall bow, before her divinity

I'm here to rein in all the animals, I won't be stopped until i have control
A queen descended from divinity, now Kneel before your majesty

Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
Buried a brother, to unify with another, Born out of wedlock,
A bastard but, king of the world, with a destiny to unify the family

Now in Rome witness to the
Empire plotting to kill
Consort to the powerful
Another step up the ladder
Clearing out the obstacles
Achieving the impossible
Hidden away from prying eyes
Within the empire

Broken Crown
Empty Throne
Another
Set of bones
Pacing these
Streets Alone
Broken Crown
Empty Throne

I will face these demons on my own, (on my own)
My name will be carved deep into the stone
(into stone, on my own)
I will rule this kingdom on my own (on my own)
Forging a path into the unknown
(the unknown, on my own)

Into the unknown

Blegh

I am the one they foretold
Prophesied as their sovereign god
None shall stand before me
I'll slaughter them all
Set up to watch them fall

Like so many chattel
Cut up in their master's battle
Egypt's soldiers take to saddle
Insides quake and fresh bones rattle
Ptolemaic land torn asunder
Noble men, bleed and suffer
Sands rain down, war drums thunder
Rome sweeps in, siege and plunder

Siege and plunder

Split their skulls, stare in wonder
Walls crash down, run for cover
Rotting flesh and burning leather
Sand and blood mix together

Darkness
Spreading
Cowards
Fleeing

Towers break and collapse
They crush the backs
Of the defenders (our gods abandoned us)
Now death spreads through the streets
As we retreat
Screams ring through the night (our gods abandoned us)
Frantic, try to defy
Instinct and fight
We can't be broken (our gods abandoned us)
We will fight to the last
Blood pumping fast
Terror pierces our hearts (our gods abandoned us, our queen abandoned us)
Give up, throw our swords down
Else be slaughtered
Rome cannot be stopped (Our queen abandoned us )
Cut down, dragged through the dirt
Skin slashed and burnt
Alexandria falls (Our Queen abandoned us)

I can't face these demons on my own, resigned to the ending
No strength left to carry on alone, an empire's collapsing
Fists clenched tight as fear cuts through to bone, There's no point in stalling
What was doomed to happen all along, Feel the cold venom pulsing

(I fall to the demons on my own) resigned to the ending
(I fall to the demons on my own) resigned to the ending
(I fall to the demons on my own) resigned to the ending
(I fall to the demons on my own)
