[Intro]
Ash on the altar
Steel in my veins
Shadows are chanting
They’re calling my name
[Verse 1]
They built me a cage out of scriptures
Gold bars and bright little lies
Told me to kneel in the embers
I learned how to smile while I cried
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of thunder
Light in the ruin
Fire in the rain
I was the lamb
Now I’m the hunter
Hear my heart roar
Tearing at the chain
I wear a crown of thunder
Storm in my throat
Fury in my veins
You tried to break me under
Now every crack is singing out your shame
[Verse 2]
You carved your mark in my armor
Thought every scar meant you won
But I turned each wound into armor
Sharp as a word on my tongue
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of thunder
Light in the ruin
Fire in the rain
I was the lamb
Now I’m the hunter
Hear my heart roar
Tearing at the chain
I wear a crown of thunder
Storm in my throat
Fury in my veins
You tried to break me under
Now every crack is singing out your shame
[Bridge]
[Choir rising
Drums half-time]
Kneel if you dare
Before what you made
I am the spark
You buried in graves
From ashes to air
From ruin to blade
I am the hymn
Your silence betrayed (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of thunder
Light in the ruin
Fire in the rain
I was the lamb
Now I’m the hunter
Hear my heart roar
Tearing at the chain
I wear a crown of thunder
Storm in my throat
Fury in my veins
You tried to break me under
Now every crack is singing out your shame
[Outro]
[Band drops
Solo vocal over strings]
Ash on the altar
Steel in my veins
Say my name softly
And choke on the flame
