[Verse 1]
Sorting hat on my head
Heart racing
Worn-out sneakers on marble floors
Sneaking out past the portraits
Chasing
Every echo through hidden doors
Candles float over ink-stained tables
Spilling secrets on midnight skin
Take an oath with the kids unstable
Swear the chaos is where I begin
[Chorus]
Put my wand up
Fire in the Great Hall
If the dark comes
I will never back off
Got my friends like a shield when it all falls
We’ll burn bright
Yeah
Brighter than the curse calls
Riding brooms through the storm
Through the downfall
If you want war
I’ll be standing last
Tall
This is my world
My heart
My home
I won’t let you turn it into stone
[Verse 2]
Quidditch scars on my knees from flying
Laughing hard till we can’t see straight
Stolen notes in my bag
Still trying
To mix homework with saving fate
Dark mark in the sky
Sky tearing
Every whisper says “run
Don’t stay”
But my fingers keep shaking
Daring
Tracing light till it cuts the grey
[Chorus]
Put my wand up
Fire in the Great Hall
If the dark comes
I will never back off
Got my friends like a shield when it all falls
We’ll burn bright
Yeah
Brighter than the curse calls
Riding brooms through the storm
Through the downfall
If you want war
I’ll be standing last
Tall
This is my world
My heart
My home
I won’t let you turn it into stone
[Bridge]
You call it fiction
I call it armor on my skin (oh-oh)
Every broken part I’ve hidden
Feels like power deep within
If he rises
I rise higher than his rage
Turn my fear into a spell
Write my name across the page
[Chorus]
Put my wand up
Fire in the Great Hall
If the dark comes
I will never back off
Got my friends like a shield when it all falls
We’ll burn bright
Yeah
Brighter than the curse calls
Riding brooms through the storm
Through the downfall
If you want war
I’ll be standing last
Tall
This is my world
My heart
My home
I won’t let you turn it into stone
