[Intro]
Ash on the velvet
Gold on our hands
Knees in the wreckage
Trying to stand
[Verse 1]
Sleep in a fortress
Built out of fear
Shadows at council
Crowded in here
We drink from goblets
Filled up with doubt
Every secret
Trying to claw out
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear a thousand voices
Rising through the smoke
Every scar becomes a banner
Every breath an oath (oh)
[Chorus]
We are kings in the fire
We are queens in the storm
All our demons at the altar
Watch us tear off every thorn
Raise that crown a little higher
Let it burn
Let it burn
We are kings
We are queens
We survive
And we learn
[Drop]
[Choir chanting]
We don’t bow
We don’t break
Crown on
Heart awake
[Verse 2]
Blood on the marble
Names in the stone
Thrones feel colder
When you sit there alone
But we turn nightmares
Into our guards
Teach those monsters
How to hold our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the choir in the chaos
Calling out our names
Every tremor in our chests now
Shakes the bars off chains (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are kings in the fire
We are queens in the storm
All our demons at the altar
Watch us tear off every thorn
Raise that crown a little higher
Let it burn
Let it burn
We are kings
We are queens
We survive
And we learn
[Bridge]
Let the dark talk
We won’t run
We were born
From the barrel of a loaded sun
Let the doubt shout
We stay true
Every ghost in the court
Bows down to you (ooh)
[Chorus]
We are kings in the fire
We are queens in the storm
All our demons at the altar
Watch us tear off every thorn
Raise that crown a little higher
Let it burn
Let it burn
We are kings
We are queens
We survive
And we burn
[Outro]
Crown on the table
Heart on the line
Broken
Unshaken
Still by design
