[Verse 1] Something’s in my head A thread of crimson burning red I tried to let it go But it pulled harder So I called the seven down I called the riders from the ground I said — find her Find her before she finds her power
[Pre-Chorus] Let the east tremble Let the west fall quiet When I move the world Has no choice but to follow
[Chorus] Road to ruin, march Every shadow answers me Road to ruin, march Not a door, not a wall, not a sea She can pull from her star I will pull from my throne Road to ruin Nobody walks this road alone But nobody walks beside me They walk behind
[Verse 2] Seven Riders, hear me Your orders are simple and clear Find the crimson haired light And make sure she knows That the dark was already here Let the masses follow Let the faithful kneel Everything she thinks she owns Was mine before she could feel
[Pre-Chorus 2] Let the north shudder Let the south stand ready I have named the target Now I want her found
[Chorus] Road to ruin, march Every shadow answers me Road to ruin, march Not a door, not a wall, not a sea She can pull from her star I will pull from my throne Road to ruin Nobody walks this road alone But nobody walks beside me They walk behind
[Bridge — commanding, almost spoken, building to thunder] You will find her You will bring her to her knees Not because I fear her Because she needs to understand What it means To arrive in MY timeline In MY world With MY crown just within reach You will find her And you will remind her This road does not end Where she thinks it ends It ends Where I decide
[Final Chorus — full army, massive production] Road to ruin, march Every shadow answers me Road to ruin, march Not a door, not a wall, not a sea She can pull from her star I will pull from my throne Road to ruin The crimson haired light Will bow like the rest Road to ruin We march
