[Verse 1]
Rust on my armor
Ash in my teeth
Laugh in the smoke
Like it’s easy to breathe
Boots on the embers
Flag at my back
Every scar on this skin
Is a map of attack
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been dragged through the dark
Through the doubt
Through the bleed
If the world wants a monster
It can ride with me
[Chorus]
I’m a knight on a fiery steed
Burning up the chains they feed
If it hurts
Then I know I’m free
Ride
Ride
Ride through the siege
Every fear that you made me eat
Turns to fuel underneath my feet
I don’t beg
I don’t bow
I lead
I’m a knight on a fiery steed
[Verse 2]
Halo of cinders
Crown made of nails
You tried to break me
Now I’m cracking your rails
Hear that [stomp-stomp-clap] in the ground
That’s my heart in attack
All the weight that you threw
I’m just throwing it back
[Pre-Chorus]
You can curse
You can carve
You can call it a creed
If your faith is in fire
Then believe in me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I was the boy in the corner
Head down
Biting my tongue
Now I cut through the armor
Of every chosen one
[snarled vocal]
You built your throne out of broken bones
I built my soul out of broken homes
If every “never” is gasoline
Watch me strike
Watch me strike
Turn the night to a guillotine
[crescendo]
Sparks in my veins
Storm in my chest
If rage is a curse
Then I’m fully blessed
[Chorus]
