Catacomb Crown

[Intro]
Ave
Ave
Ave

[Verse 1]
I step in slow with the doors chained shut
Black coats hang where the cold wind tucked
Pale hands on the brick, and the brick sweat rust
Hear that choir in the drain pipe hushed
Old names carved in the table top
Nine knocks back when the floorboards stop
I got ash in my mouth and a grin too wide
You can run from the room, but the room got eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now
Count those bones
Hear my name
Down below
Grave by grave
Line by line
When I call
You cross that line

[Chorus]
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
Bow your head down, bow your head down
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
I take the dark and I wear it proud
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown

[Verse 2]
There’s a red ring pulse where the candle died
And a mirror full of teeth on the far left side
I move like a storm in a locked-down chapel
Deep voice shaking the dust from the rafters
Every vow you made got a split in it now
Every saint on the wall turn their face to the ground
I don’t beg for peace, I bring the crawl
When the bell hits twelve, you can hear me call

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now
Count those bones
Hear my name
Down below
Grave by grave
Line by line
When I call
You cross that line

[Chorus]
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
Bow your head down, bow your head down
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
I take the dark and I wear it proud
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown

[Bridge]
If the floor starts singing, don’t look back
If the door swings wide, let the shadows crack
I was made in the black with a locked-up soul
Now the whole room kneels when I lose control

[Chorus]
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
Bow your head down, bow your head down
Catacomb crown, catacomb crown
I take the dark and I wear it proud
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown
(oh-oh) Catacomb crown
