About This Track

'Dethroned' by Architects is a 2009 hard rock track from the album 'Hollow Crown'. The lyrics put a single-minded voice on the side of retribution, framing a lonely, cold night as the stage for a reckoning with arrogance, and promising to drag a figure back down and remove a “hollow crown”. The repeated imagery of being brought low gives the song its confrontational edge, like a vow to puncture a lie and strip away self-importance.

"Dethroned" is a track by Architects, from the album Hollow Crown, released 2009. The track is 3:07 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Architects.

Lyrics

Dethroned

Another cold dark night, left alone
Your arrogance will lead to the death of you
I'll be the one to pull your head back down
Remove your hollow Crown
So far from the truth you hide away
I'll be the one to pull your head back down

Remove your
Hollow crown
Remove your
Hollow crown

I'll
I'll die
I'll die happy
Knowing that I will never be anything like you
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence, oh

All my life I've wanted just to feel like this
You came, you conquered you gave it away
All my life I've wanted just to feel like this
You came, you conquered you gave it away

And how does it feel 
Staring down on your idol's grave
The one you once looked up to has fallen into dust
The one you once looked up to has fallen away
What's left for you?
What's left for you in this fickle world?

What gives you the right? Oh yeah
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence? Oh
And what’s left for you?
What’s left in this fickle world?
Remove your crown
