Wedding of the Warring Crowns

[Verse 1]
Heard your name like a curse on the wind
Every map on my wall said you’d win
Silver crest on a blood‑red flag
You were thunder on my borderland
I wore armor that never quite fit
Gilded crown over childhood grit
Swore the sky would be ash
Not blue
If I ever had to bow to you
[Chorus]
But look at us now
In a borrowed church
Mud on our boots
Letting go of the hurt
Swords on the floor
Crowns in the pews
All of these scars saying “I choose you”
They’ll write it down as a truce and a vow
The wedding of the warring crowns
Who’d ever think we’d be here now
The wedding of the warring crowns
[Verse 2]
Met you first in the smoke and the rain
Face to face in a field full of blame
You were tired
I was shaking too
All that anger
Nothing left to do
Then you laughed at the rip in my sleeve
Said
“A queen can be brave and still bleed”
In your eyes
For a moment I saw
Just a boy who was raised to love war
[Chorus]
And look at us now
In a borrowed church
Mud on our boots
Letting go of the hurt
Swords on the floor
Crowns in the pews
All of these scars saying “I choose you”
They’ll write it down as a truce and a vow
The wedding of the warring crowns
Who’d ever think we’d be here now
The wedding of the warring crowns
[Bridge]
Your mother cries in her faded blue veil
My brother stares at the holes in the rail
Are we traitors or are we brave
If our love fills all these graves
Take my hand under shattered glass light (oh)
We were taught only “yours” and “mine”
But your heartbeat answers my doubt
Two old kingdoms breathing out
[Chorus]
So look at us now
In this quiet room
Apricot wine
Wildflowers in bloom
Swords on the floor
Crowns in the pews
All of these scars saying “I choose you”
They write it down as a truce and a vow
The wedding of the warring crowns
Our little kiss is an empire’s sound
The wedding of the warring crowns
