This song is definitely one of their heavier ones, but the lyrics are so powerful, so of course its going to need a heavier sound. To me, the lyrics speak to the listener and I feel the message in this song is about the idea of putting up your heroes or idols that you worship, onto a throne in your mind and heart. They probably aren't meant to be up there, and they probably won't stay up there long, but the idea behind it is that we make kings out of the things that shouldn't be made kings. Does that make sense?. I hope so. Enjoy :)
Lyrics:
What you hold dear is a false account.
What you hold dear offers no salvation. (salvation)
Trust in that I’m not right for this. (for this)Know that I’m not the one to hold you up. (hold you up)
I can’t hold you. I can’t hold you.
Dead throne (dead throne), we’ve put the world up onto a dead throne.
Dead throne (dead throne), we’ve put the world up onto a dead throne.
She will slip... slip away. You will see your downfall.
Dead throne (dead throne), we’ve put the world up onto a dead throne.
Dead throne, we’ve put the world onto a dead throne.
I am guilty, I have fallen: There are things that have come between you and me.
I’m so sorry (I’m so sorry): Let all be put to shame who serve carved images.
We’ve put the world on a dead throne. We’ve put the world on a dead throne.
