Lyrics

Live, with your back to the wall

Living in a defensive or challenging position

The bigger they come, the harder they fall

Facing significant challenges, and the greater they are, the harder the fall

Live, with a heart made of stone

Living with emotional resilience or indifference

Slings and arrows and broken bones

Dealing with difficulties, criticisms, and physical injuries


One by one by one by one

Repetition emphasizes facing challenges one after another

Kings rise and fall

Monarchs or leaders rise and fall

One by one by one by one

Continuation of leaders facing consequences

Heavy lies this crown of bones

The burden of leadership is significant and challenging


Yeah, darkness behold

Acknowledging the presence of darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Referring to life as a challenging or harsh place

Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Reiteration of life's harshness


Live, with the eyes of the beast

Living with a fierce and intimidating gaze

Never the prey, the weak or the sheep

Avoiding being a victim or part of the vulnerable

Live, with the strength to believe

Living with the strength to believe in oneself

Dead to the world, but we'll haunt their dreams

Being emotionally detached but having an impact on others


One by one by one by one

Repetition of facing challenges

Kings rise and fall

Reiteration of the rise and fall of leaders

One by one by one by one

Continuation of leaders facing consequences

Heavy lies this crown of bones, yeah

Emphasizing the weight of leadership


Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life

Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life


Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Advocating for the destruction of everything

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Repetition of the desire for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Continuation of the call for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Repetition of the desire for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Continuation of the call for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Repetition of the desire for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Continuation of the call for destruction

Burn it, burn it all, burn it all to ash

Repetition of the desire for destruction

Burn it all to ashes

Complete destruction is the desired outcome


Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life

Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life


Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life

Yeah, darkness behold

Reiteration of acknowledging darkness

Yeah, this hell we call home

Repeating the harshness of life
