lyrics

Carve my name into the stone
Lay me down in dust and bone
Lay your heartache to rest
Beside the roses on my chest
Emptiness upon my throne
The king is dead

Take me straight outta this hell
It's time to rebel
Save me from headaches and rage
Break me out of this cage in my brain

Once the music starts to fade
The lights all dim an empty stage
But when the curtains fall
Will they know your name

Take me straight outta this hell
It's time to rebel
Save me from headaches and rage
Break me out of this cage in my brain

Take me straight outta this hell
It's time to rebel
Save me from headaches and rage
Break me out of this cage in my brain

Stand above my shattered crown
My kingdom burned into the ground
As the word gets spread
They'll know, the king is dead

Take me straight outta this hell
It's time to rebel
Save me from headaches and rage
Break me out of this cage in my brain
