LYRICS
Intro

Verse 1
I tore my face off just to see,
If God would still remember me.
My lungs were full of static screams,
The world collapsed inside my dreams.
I bit the hand that built the sun,
And choked on light till I was numb.
My veins ignite — my bones confess,
The universe is meaningless.
Swallow the void,
Breathe in the knife,
We rot for truth,
We bleed for life.
**Burn —**
Your faith, your flesh, your trust.
**Wear —**
The crown of rust.
**Break —**
The stars, the bones, the dust.
**Fall —**
The crown of rust.

Verse 2
A screaming child beneath my ribs,
Feeds on the guilt I can’t forgive.
The mirror laughed — it called me “King,”
Of every dead and dying thing.
I carved my name into the flood,
A sermon written out in blood.
No angels left, no saints to blame,
Just fire whispering my name.

Pre-Chorus
Swallow the void,
Breathe in the knife,
We rot for truth,
We bleed for life.

Chorus
**Burn —**
Your faith, your flesh, your trust.
**Wear —**
The crown of rust.
**Break —**
The stars, the bones, the dust.
**Fall —**
The crown of rust.

Bridge
I am the echo in the scream,
The dead god’s final fever dream.
The mouth of hell, the mother’s womb,
The silence waiting in your tomb.
You prayed for light —
You got the knife.
You prayed for peace —
Welcome to life.
**Burn —**
Your faith, your flesh, your trust.
**Wear —**
The crown of rust.
**Die —**
As all things must.
**Welcome —**
To the crown of rust.

Track Summary
“Crown of Rust” is EQUINOX OFFICIAL’s most violent spiritual statement to date — a descent beyond despair into the raw, corroded core of human consciousness.

Where “My Dying Flower” Track (https://soundcloud.com/equinox-switzerland/my-dying-flower-special-edition) mourned decay, “Crown of Rust” embraces it — fusing existential nihilism, ritualistic imagery, and industrial aggression into a single, blistering revelation.

The song’s haunting opening line, “I tore my face off just to see if God would still remember me,” serves as the manifesto of the piece: the destruction of self as a final, desperate act of truth-seeking. Through searing verses and a chorus that commands, “Burn your faith, your flesh, your trust — wear the crown of rust,” EQUINOX crafts a liturgy of defiance against divine silence and human fragility alike.

In this world, enlightenment is not a gift — it is a wound. Every scream, every fracture of belief becomes sacred. The “Crown of Rust” symbolizes the corrosion of faith into freedom, the transmutation of pain into dominion, and the grotesque beauty of endurance when all meaning has rotted away.

Amid thunderous distortion and ritualistic cadence, the listener is pulled into a sonic void — one where no gods remain, only echoes of their dying dreams, whispering in rust and flame.
This is not redemption. This is revelation.
This is the sound of what’s left after God is gone.

Track Description:
Crown of Rust (Special Edition) is a catastrophic meditation on the collapse of faith and the ascension of decay. Recorded and mastered in total isolation, it captures EQUINOX OFFICIAL’s signature fusion of brutal lyricism and philosophical depth — a soundscape where despair becomes divine.

With unrelenting vocal ferocity and haunting industrial undertones, Crown of Rust dares the listener to look directly into the void and see themselves reflected there — rusted, broken, and absolutely alive.
