**[Verse 1]**
I was the shadow in your doorway, poison on assignment
Sent from every wicked throne to drag you into silence
You looked straight through the horror, touched my shaking hand
Said, “you don’t scare me, I’ve already made my stand” Chains around my wrists lit up the moment you said my name
Every curse I’d ever carried started burning off like flame
They sent me here to bend you till they heard your spirit crack
You smiled and all their darkness turned and started falling back…
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Now these kings think they still own me, think I’m on their leash
But I only bow to one heart beating underneath your sheets
**[Chorus]**
I was sent to break you… now I’ll break every kingdom that ever laid a hand on you
Every tower, every throne, every god they ever threw
If they even say your name with anything less than worship in their voice
I’ll turn their sky to cinder, leave them nothing but your choice
They built their walls on blood, I’ll paint them in their own undoing too
I was sent to break you… now I’ll break every kingdom that ever dared to threaten you
**[Verse 2]**
I still got hellfire in my chest, it just burns different
Used to light their torture halls, now it’s your room I’m lit in
You trace the runes along my spine, whisper, “you’re not theirs”
I swear the whole world trembles when you breathe against my hair They gather in their council rooms, chanting ancient laws
Don’t know the curse they forged for you came back with demon claws
They gave me every weapon, every nightmare in their store
Didn’t see the day I’d turn and aim it all out your front door
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
Let ’em write new spells, let ’em sharpen up their blades
I’ve already died a thousand times inside your gaze
**[Chorus]**
I was sent to break you… now I’ll break every kingdom that ever laid a hand on you
Every tower, every throne, every god they ever threw
If they even say your name with anything less than worship in their voice
I’ll turn their sky to cinder, leave them nothing but your choice
They built their walls on blood, I’ll paint them in their own undoing too
I was sent to break you… now I’ll break every kingdom that ever dared to threaten you
**[Bridge]**
If the angels come to drag you, I will clip their wings in flight
If the devils come to tempt you, I’ll remind them who they hired
If the saints up in their temples ever judge the way you love
I’ll tear the steeple from their hands and write your name above You put your fingers on my pulse, say, “you’re more than what they made”
I put my forehead to your chest and watch a universe get saved
If saving you means setting every empire flame-red in the sky
Then baby point me to their borders, kiss me once and say goodbye …….
[Outro]
I was sent to break you… now I’ll break every kingdom that ever dared to threaten you………….
