Crown of Barbed Wire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
It's destiny I wear
It splits the skin to the soul
This jagged wreath I bear

[Pre-Chorus]
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce me with torment
And all the rust that I own

[Chorus]
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
So tight, this crown

[Verse 2]
Fist tight, it stains conviction
Drips down to bloodshot eyes
It crushes down what is real
Deep crimson blots the skies

[Pre-Chorus]
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce me with torment
And all the rust that I own

[Chorus]
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
So tight, this crown

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
This rusted еmpire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Piercе me with torment
And all the rust that I own

[Chorus]
So tight (So tight), this crown of barbed wire
So tight (So tight), this crown of barbed wire
So tight, this crown
