[Intro]
We built our names in neon lights
Raised our glass to endless nights
But every cheer became a stone
For kings upon an empty throne

[Verse]
Gold on the walls, dust in the air
Everybody bows, but nobody cares
We wore our scars like velvet robes
Sold our souls for the thunder of shows

We laughed too loud, we burned too fast
Made our future from a broken past
Behind the smile, behind the fame
We were only hiding from the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
And the mirrors never lied
They just waited for the pride
To fall down like rain

[Chorus]
We are kings of the empty throne
Hearts like iron, standing alone
Crowned by fire, cut to the bone
Still we rise when the glory is gone

We are kings of the empty throne
Lost in the lights, far from home
If we break, let the whole world know
Even shattered hearts can glow

[Verse]
Friends came dressed in silver skin
With golden knives and a preacher’s grin
They said forever, they meant tonight
Then disappeared in the morning light

Love was waiting by the door
But we wanted louder, we wanted more
Now every room in this palace cries
With a thousand unsaid last goodbyes

[Pre-Chorus]
And the thunder in our veins
Could not wash away the stains
Of who we became

[Chorus]
We are kings of the empty throne
Hearts like iron, standing alone
Crowned by fire, cut to the bone
Still we rise when the glory is gone

We are kings of the empty throne
Lost in the lights, far from home
If we break, let the whole world know
Even shattered hearts can glow

[Bridge]
Take the crown, take the name
Take the diamonds, take the blame
Leave me one last spark inside
Leave me something still alive

[Build-up]
We fall
We crawl
We bleed
We call

[Solo]

[Chorus]
We are kings of the empty throne
Hearts like iron, standing alone
Crowned by fire, cut to the bone
Still we rise when the glory is gone

We are kings of the empty throne
Lost in the lights, far from home
If we break, let the whole world know
Even shattered hearts can glow

[Outro]
We built our names in neon lights
But dawn still came for every lie
No crown can save what pride has known
Kings of the empty throne
