War cry

Cracked mirror, blurry eyes, that isn’t you I see

Flinching at a shadow, living on your bended knee

Used to be a queen, a fire burning bright and bold

Now you’re whispering apologies, bought and paid and sold

He built you up so high, yeah, told you, you were the one

Then chipped away, a little piece, ‘til all your power’s gone

He calls it love, controlling, but baby that’s a lie

Look in the mirror, girl, I see the strength behind your eye

This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry

Time to reclaim the power he denied

Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun

You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun

Take back your life, your body, take back control

Remember when your laughter echoed through the walls?

He silenced you, convinced you that your spirit falls

Too loud, too wild, too much, he tried to dim your light

But a diamond under pressure only shines more bright

He built you up so high, yeah, told you, you were the one

Then chipped away, a little piece, ‘til all your power’s gone

He calls it love, controlling, but baby that’s a lie

Look in the mirror, girl, I see the strength behind your eye

This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry

Time to reclaim the power he denied

Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun

You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun

Take back your life, your body, take back control

Don’t let him steal another breathe, another tear

This isn’t the ending, darling, banish all your fear

He’s just a man who’s scared of what you truly are

A supernova, waiting to ignite and go far

This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry

Time to reclaim the power he denied

Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun

You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun

Take back your life, your body, take back control

Control… yeah it’s yours now.

Walk away. Stand tall. Be a queen you were born to be.

Now, go. Claim your throne.
