[Verse 1]
My hand on the gate
Your name on the stone
I came with a scar
And a heart of my own
Dust on my boots
Blood in my teeth
Still I keep walking
Past what they said I'd be
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the black drums pound
Hear the old walls shake
Something in me wakes
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, stand strong
I fall, I rise
I still belong
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, sing loud
You can't bury fire
Under stolen ground
[Verse 2]
I learned every lie
From a mouthful of gold
Men sell you a future
Then leave you cold
But I kept one flame
In the hollow of my chest
Small as a match
And mean as the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the black drums pound
Hear the old walls shake
Something in me wakes
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, stand strong
I fall, I rise
I still belong
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, sing loud
You can't bury fire
Under stolen ground
[Bridge]
Let the towers bend
Let the banners tear
I was made from dust
But I'm still here
[Chorus]
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, stand strong
I fall, I rise
I still belong
Broken crown, hold on
Broken crown, sing loud
You can't bury fire
Under stolen ground
