[Verse 1]
Law hangs by a thread
Hate grows when it’s fed
Though blue skies overhead
The sun shines on the dead
And blight creeps up through the beds
On calm winds plague can descend
And paradise turns on its head
When brutality looms and upends
We’re always but steps from that edge
Tottering steps off that ledge
You can stare off, deny, and pretend
But reality snaps when you’ve bled
You've bled
[Chorus]
The seat of true power holds
Beyond the throne
The seed that in man corrodes
Beyond the throne
The crown of supreme control
Beyond the throne
Commands and consumes you whole
Beyond the throne
[Verse 2]
Too eager to be bossed
Too eager with no thought
Too willing to be bought
We’re too willing to ease off
These are the lines that we cross
Open your eyes or you’ll lose what you’ve caught
Many a man who have gone where we walk
Ended up winding through the killing fields lost
Through the killing fields lost
Law hangs by a thread
Hate grows when it’s fed
Though blue skies overhead
The sun shines on the dead
And blight creeps up through the beds
On calm winds plague can descend
And paradise turns on its head
When brutality looms and upends
We’re always but steps from that edge
Tottering steps off that ledge
You can stare off, deny, and pretend
But reality snaps when you’ve bled
You've bled
[Chorus]
The seat of true power holds
Beyond the throne
The seed that in man corrodes
Beyond the throne
The crown of supreme control
Beyond the throne
Commands and consumes you whole
Beyond the throne
[Verse 2]
Too eager to be bossed
Too eager with no thought
Too willing to be bought
We’re too willing to ease off
These are the lines that we cross
Open your eyes or you’ll lose what you’ve caught
Many a man who have gone where we walk
Ended up winding through the killing fields lost
Through the killing fields lost
