Drop the bones and make your stand
If this means life, we pull an answer from the sand
And it's okay if you don't know what you'll become
If we have to fade, we'll fade out in the Sun
Just pull this string, unraveling kings
We sew our own wings

I'll trade my lines, I'll trade my time
For cities made of steel
I'll try and dive while the sea's still alive
Dead men turn the wheel
Keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
New power in my hands
Crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
To feed the future

All the goddesses of death are dead
One more time, we pull a feather from her head
Like our fathers did, we cut your heart away
To place it on the scale and find out how you're made
String by string, unraveling kings
We sew our own wings

I'll trade my lines, I'll trade my time
For cities made of steel
I'll try and dive while the sea's still alive
Dead men turn the wheel
Keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
New power in my hands
Crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
Yeah, I'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up

Beat an ancient drum, tombs and guns
Unbury your keys, send the army in
I've got a strong wind inside of me (woo!)

I'll trade my lines, I'll trade my time
For cities made of steel
I'll try and dive while the sea's still alive
Dead men turn the wheel
Keep my head down and pull back on the trigger
New power in my hand
I'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up

I'll trade my lines, I'll trade my time
For cities made of steel
I'll try and dive while the sea's still alive
Dead men turn the wheel
Keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
New power in my hands
I'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
Yeah, crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
To feed the future
