A song about the powerful who act like they're God. Every throne built on lies and greed is made of dust, and no human power can command the breath of man. Every empire meets its end, and truth outlives them all.
Thrones of Dust lyrics
Steel towers scrape the sky Names in suits decide who lives, who dies They wear their crowns like borrowed light But their kingdom shakes when truth ignites Every law they twist, every soul they sell Building ladders that reach to hell Thrones of dust, your walls will fall You’re not the maker, not Lord of all Playing God with poisoned hands But you can’t command the breath of man Silver tongues in echo chambers Trading lives for shallow favors Paper power, fragile reign The fire burns through your charade Every chain you forge, every lie you spin Truth will rise and break back in Thrones of dust, your walls will fall You’re not the maker, not Lord of all Playing God with poisoned hands But you can’t command the breath of man Your gold won’t save you Your crowns won’t last The kingdoms of men Will turn to ash Crowns of dust, your reign is gone Truth outlives the lies you’ve drawn Playing God, but the fire won’t bend Every empire meets its end Every empire… meets its end
