Lyrics Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage

The Crownless King

Abolition to this illusion

And all the monuments of hypocrisy

Burn them — burn them to the ground

Destroy them — they're useless to us now

Tear down reminders of a crownless king

This impostor claims authority

Indignation is closing in

You choose a war, a war you cannot win

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

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

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

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

This storied confusion, distorted and diluted

Will come undone when the balance shifts

And the framework breaks

The framework breaks

To the depths you descend

Become the crownless king

Defy you — I defy you

Defy you — we defy you
