[Verse 1]
Smoke on the kingdom walls
Ash in my armor, you call my name
Dragons in spiral falls
I taste your fear, I choke on the flame
Every step, battlefield
Your heartbeat louder than steel on steel
Thrones burn, banners peel
If I lose myself, at least you heal
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Choose the light or die"
But I saw your face in the fire
If I gotta kiss that crown goodbye
I’ll climb down into the wire
[Chorus]
I’ll be the devil for your crown
Tear this whole damn kingdom down
Risk it all for you, I swear I do
Blood on my hands, but I stay true
Our last dance in the fire’s glow
If I fall, I fall below
But I rise, I rise for you
I rise, I rise for you
[Verse 2]
Halo in shattered glass
You hold my hand while the world turns black
Demons line up, they laugh
I sign my soul, never giving you back
War drums inside my chest
Guitar screams out every scar I’ve known
You put your palm to my vest
Say, "Lose the throne, but don’t lose your soul"
[Pre-Chorus]
If I gotta be the darkest night
To keep your heart beating bright
I’ll walk straight into that bite
Let the monsters make me their knight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Tie my fate to your heartbeat, love
Let the angels turn away
I’ll drag hell up from underneath
Just to make you stay
[growled ad-lib] Go
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
