Just bend the knee! Lonely roads, paved in gold Covered in crowns, buried in bones Build 'em up, watch 'em fall Kingdoms on high, with crumbling thrones You take what's yours, then take it all You lie, you cheat, you steal But now fall before me, bend the knee And fade to the darkness Calling out for mercy There is none for the heartless, no Just an empty promise You're a sky left starless, oh You rise and fall, you rise and fall to me Just bend the knee! Torn apart, by the sound Of promises made, burned to the ground Light 'em up, then forget The dust in the wind, is the ash of the dead You take what's yours, then take it all You beat your chest before the fall You take what's yours, then take it all You lie, you cheat, you steal But now, fall before me, bend the knee And fade to the darkness Calling out for mercy There is none for the heartless, no Just an empty promise You're a sky left starless, oh You rise and fall, you rise and fall to me Just bend the knee! There is nothing left here Just an empty promise! But now fall before me, bend the knee And fade to the darkness Calling out for mercy There is none for the heartless, no Just an empty promise You're a sky left starless, oh You rise and fall, you rise and fall to me Just bend the knee! You rise and fall, you rise and fall to me Just bend the knee!
