That Crown Don’t Make You a Prince Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the drunks in the alleys are taking up arms
To undo their whole lives in a day
If their hearts, they don't change before long
In the heart of the beast, they will lay
[Verse 2]
He peels the wood from the wall
To get to us
He steals the good from this town
So wash the black from your fingertips and fight
[Verse 3]
Raise up from the cellars
Fill the streets with his dead
This time, this time, this time
All the drunks in the alleys are taking up arms
To undo their whole lives in a day
If their hearts, they don't change before long
In the heart of the beast, they will lay
[Verse 2]
He peels the wood from the wall
To get to us
He steals the good from this town
So wash the black from your fingertips and fight
[Verse 3]
Raise up from the cellars
Fill the streets with his dead
This time, this time, this time
About
Genius Annotation
Another chapter in the war against the Devil, this track focuses on recruiting the noncommittal people who’ve so far refused to stand against Satan for fear of his wrath. The band explains:
The lines have been drawn and sides chosen for the battle between good and evil, yet some linger in the middle or don’t care. Those that don’t worry until the end is near are corrupted by inaction and so their fate is sealed … If good hasn’t been in their hearts all along, they are gonna burn, burn, burn.
