The Ruin Waits for You in Kansas (Kingdom of Ashes)
Verse 1 As your walls close in, I can feel you start to panic. I’d say take a deep breath again, But truthfully, I’m ready to watch you lose everything.
Verse 2 You built this kingdom, Pious, untouchable, pristine. But the truth is just delusion, You're slipping, grip lost on reality.
Pre-Chorus Days, months, even years, Slip through cracks you’re covering, Lies on top of lies, You can't remember what was ever real.
Chorus Quick to judge, blind to your fate, You never saw the sentence take shape. The torment you dealt out in waves Returns in fire, a thousandfold blaze.
Verse 3 You sold your soul, for what? Fleeting thrills, now ashes rot. Your treasure’s burned, your kingdom's gone, And silence is your only song.
Bridge The bill comes due, And the soul you once had, No longer belongs to you.
Breakdown Mercy? Have mercy? I’ll give what you gave, What you’ve stolen from others, Will be torn from your hands...
Outro Mark my words, remember me, This is the last face you’ll see. When the lights go out, You’ll know what it means, To lose everything.
