[Verse 1]
I came up under soot
With a crack in the floor
Black smoke in my coat
And a glare in the jaw
Fallen angel on my back
Dragon in my chest
Devil at the table
Still I never sit to rest
Sword held high
I cut through the doubt
Every scar on my skin
Got a gold edge now
You said chase the dream
So I ran through the fear
Flame on my tongue
And I kept it right here
[Pre-Chorus]
When the ground starts shaking
I don't fold, I lean in
When the night gets hungry
I feed it a grin
[Chorus]
Crown of ash, crown of ash
Split the earth, I dash
Crown of ash, crown of ash
I want love and I want the clash
(oh, crown of ash)
[Verse 2]
I saw your eyes like rain
On a broken-down train
You said keep your heart
Even if it burns in the rain
So I danced in the ruin
With my hands to the sky
If the world wants a king
Let the fire decide
Dragon in the mirror
Devil in the lane
Fallen angel laughing
As I lean into the flame
Sword still up
When the wolves come near
I don't chase the shadow
I just make it clear
[Pre-Chorus]
When the ground starts shaking
I don't fold, I lean in
When the night gets hungry
I feed it a grin
[Chorus]
Crown of ash, crown of ash
Split the earth, I dash
Crown of ash, crown of ash
I want love and I want the clash
(oh, crown of ash)
[Bridge]
If I fall, I fall loud
If I burn, let it show
You can hear my blood talk
Under every stone
One more step, one more vow
One more ring of the flame
I was made in the rupture
I was born in the name
[Final Chorus]
Crown of ash, crown of ash
Split the earth, I dash
Crown of ash, crown of ash
I want love and I want the clash
Crown of ash, crown of ash
Sword held high in the flash
Crown of ash, crown of ash
I want love and I want the clash
(oh, crown of ash)
