Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They called me spare room dust
A girl left by the fire
My sisters wore their silver
My brothers fed the pyre
I learned the shape of silence
In the halls where I was sent
While they laughed over gold cups
I watched what power meant
[Pre-Chorus]
The old stones kept my secrets
The servants knew my name
I heard the poor ones praying
And I felt the rising flame
[Chorus]
I wore the crown for mercy
(I wore it for mercy)
I broke the chain with love
(I broke the chain with love)
They bowed to iron rulers
But I gave bread and words above
I wore the crown for mercy
And the whole land rose with love
[Verse 2]
My brothers split like winter
My sisters turned to ash
Their hungry hands grew crueler
Each promise came too fast
They took the roads to hatred
I took the muddy lane
Where widows mended fences
And children learned my name
[Pre-Chorus]
The old stones kept my secrets
The servants knew my name
I heard the poor ones praying
And I felt the rising flame
[Chorus]
I wore the crown for mercy
(I wore it for mercy)
I broke the chain with love
(I broke the chain with love)
They bowed to iron rulers
But I gave bread and words above
I wore the crown for mercy
And the whole land rose with love
[Bridge]
No jeweled hand could teach me
What a tired heart can do
So I opened every gate wide
And let the healing through
The fields began to answer
The markets filled with song
The cast aside princess
Was the one who held them long
[Final Chorus]
I wore the crown for mercy
(I wore it for mercy)
I broke the chain with love
(I broke the chain with love)
They bowed to iron rulers
But I gave bread and words above
I wore the crown for mercy
And the whole land rose with love
[Outro]
So tell the ruined kingdom
What the cold days could not see
The girl they set aside
Was the woman who set them free
