You think your realm is the crux of it all,
But listen here; no, you can’t beat a dead horse, son.
Down at the bottom, we’re all grasping at the edge of reason,
All crowns will break and you’ll be left to kiss the feet of vacant thrones.
We’re growing restless in our solitude,
We cut our losses ‘cus we feel that we should.
We’re growing restless in our solitude,
We cut our losses.
You’re screaming “wolf!” to empty quarters,
No man got anywhere by cutting corners.
And if you plan to reap your fortunes from our land,
Then I suggest you listen closely, son; supply requires demand.
We’re growing restless in our solitude,
We cut our losses ‘cus we feel like we should.
We’re growing restless in our solitude,
We cut our losses.
The wolves will tear the flesh from the bone,
The wolves will tear the flesh from the bone.
Why should fear seize the limbs,
Before the trumpets sound?
Crucible burns mark our skin and failures,
We have never been spared the flame.
One thousand more will rush to fill the void,
And they'll all just burn and fade the same.
