LYRICS [Intro] (They stripped Him bare) (He never broke) [Verse 1] They dragged me through the market square Sold my name for a secondhand prayer Every mirror was a firing line Every bruise signed with somebody's sign I wore the shame like a borrowed coat Swallowed every word that caught in my throat Told myself this is all I'm worth A wasted breath on a wasted earth [Pre-Chorus] But I saw a man on a hill of skulls Mocked by the crowd, still whole They took His robe, they took His skin They never got what was within [Chorus] Dignity, not bought, not sold Nailed to wood, but never owned You can strip me down to bone I still know who calls me home Dignity, crowned in thorns Spat upon and yet adorned I will stand, I won't be moved The King was bruised And I'm made new [Verse 2] You want me crawling on hands and knees Begging for scraps of your guarantees You wrote my verdict in blood and ink Took everything but the will to think Purple robe on a bleeding back Soldiers laughing through the whip's crack If they couldn't break the Son of God Then your fists are just another rod [Pre-Chorus] I saw a man on a hill of skulls Mocked by the crowd, still whole They took His robe, they took His skin They never got what was within [Chorus] Dignity, not bought, not sold Nailed to wood, but never owned You can strip me down to bone I still know who calls me home Dignity, crowned in thorns Spat upon and yet adorned I will stand, I won't be moved The King was bruised And I'm made new [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] He was silent before the ones who judged Him Like a lamb that does not open its mouth Not because He had no voice Because He had nothing left to prove [Breakdown] NOT FOR SALE NOT FOR SALE Take the coat, take the name Take the crown and take the blame Drive the nails and roll the stone Still you'll never take my soul [Final Chorus] Dignity, not bought, not sold Nailed to wood, but never owned You can strip me down to bone I still know who calls me home Dignity, crowned in thorns Spat upon and yet adorned I will stand, I won't be moved The King was bruised And I'm made new [Outro] Crowned in thorns Still a King Crowned in thorns So am I scarletbeast.com #ScarletBeast #CrownedInThorns #ChristianMetal #Metalcore #Worship
