[Verse 1]
Cold on the iron gate
I watched the dawn bleed red
Every oath I ever broke
Still circles in my head
They nailed the crown to dust
They buried names in flame
But under stone and winter
The old fire kept my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums in the ground
Hear the wolves on the wind
I was forged in the ash
I was born to begin
[Chorus]
Blood of the King
Run through my veins
Blood of the King
I rise from the chains
Blood of the King
Call out my name
Blood of the King
I burn through the pain
[Verse 2]
I walked through shattered halls
Through banners ripped and torn
Found my father’s blade
In a field of blackened thorns
The gate guard laughed at me
Till I split the night in two
Now every mile ahead
Is a march to something true
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums in the ground
Hear the wolves on the wind
I was forged in the ash
I was born to begin
[Chorus]
Blood of the King
Run through my veins
Blood of the King
I rise from the chains
Blood of the King
Call out my name
Blood of the King
I burn through the pain
[Bridge]
Raise the blackened steel
Let the old walls shake
I am every vow
That you tried to break
No more kneeling low
No more whispered shame
I will take the throne
And set the skies aflame
[Final Chorus]
Blood of the King
Run through my veins
Blood of the King
I rise from the chains
Blood of the King
Call out my name
Blood of the King
I burn through the pain
Blood of the King
The crown remembers me
Blood of the King
And I will be free
