[Verse 1]
I wore the crown
Like a blade of fire
Sky full of screams
Fed my hunger higher
I reached for thrones
With a silver grin
I thought the world
Would let me win
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I heard the thunder call
Oh, I thought I'd never fall
Higher, higher
I was built to rule it all
[Chorus]
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
I took the sky
And lost my way
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
Now I burn in the ash
Of yesterday
[Verse 2]
I drew my name
On the face of war
Every broken oath
Wanted more and more
I struck at kings
With a stolen spark
But every cruel act
Drove me deeper dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I heard the thunder call
Oh, I thought I'd never fall
Higher, higher
Then the heavens locked the door
[Chorus]
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
I took the sky
And lost my way
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
Now I burn in the ash
Of yesterday
[Bridge]
Hear me now
I was made of pride
All my gold turned cold
On the night I died
No more wings
No more crown
Just a name
Spelling fallout down
[Final Chorus]
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
I took the sky
And lost my way
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
Now I burn in the ash
Of yesterday
Starscream's lament
Starscream's lament
Never to fly again
Never to fly again
