Lyrics

S-s-sovereign
S-s-splinter
Welcome to the hollow
Pacing the floorboards, counting the nails
Building a kingdom where vanity fails
Iron and shadow, hammering rust
Kissing the altar, breathing the dust
They lock up the gates to the glittering hall
So I carve a throne in the dirt by the wall
Gothic couture out of burlap and twine
Drinking the rain like a decadent wine
Tactical discipline, shaping the clay
Waiting for centuries, hiding away
The sleepwalking masses are numb to the bone
I-I-I build my cathedral on splinter and stone
I-I-I build my cathedral on splinter and stone
Let the blood run down
Crown of splinters, heavy on the head
Keeps me waking, rising from the dead
Gaudy the glamour, harsh is the wood
Ruling the echo, misunderstood
C-c-crown of splinters, biting the skin
This is the palace where I let you in
I wear the ache so I never sleep
Sovereignty bleeding for me to keep
S-s-sculpting the gravel, filing the bone
Dancing a fever upon cobblestone
Sweat on the timber, dirt on the shoes
Hedonist hymnals sung in the pews
You wanted a pageant of delicate grace
I give you the grit of this desolate place
A glamorous masquerade built out of ash
Collecting the pennies and burning the trash
Tactical discipline, shaping the clay
Waiting for centuries, hiding away
The sleepwalking masses are numb to the bone
I-I-I build my cathedral on splinter and stone
I-I-I build my cathedral on splinter and stone
Let the blood run down
Crown of splinters, heavy on the head
Keeps me waking, rising from the dead
Gaudy the glamour, harsh is the wood
Ruling the echo, misunderstood
C-c-crown of splinters, biting the skin
This is the palace where I let you in
I wear the ache so I never sleep
Sovereignty bleeding for me to keep
The splinter is sharp
The shadow is dark
The kingdom is bare
But nobody is there
I wouldn't trade all this gorgeous decay
For stadiums chanting my name in the day
The pain is a pendulum swinging on time
The beautiful agony making me mine
Crown of splinters, heavy on the head
Keeps me waking, rising from the dead
Gaudy the glamour, harsh is the wood
Ruling the echo, misunderstood
C-c-crown of splinters, biting the skin
This is the palace where I let you in
I wear the ache so I never sleep
Sovereignty bleeding for me to keep
Ruling the echo
S-s-sovereign
C-c-crown of splinters
Just wood and iron
We build it here
S-s-splinter
