[Intro]
I was dead in my chest
Cold breath
No rest
Till You stepped in the mess (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Blood on my hands
I was proud of it
Heart full of rust
Talkin’ loud with it
Tried every chain
Still a slave in my brain
Hear You call my name
Cutting right through the shame
All of my idols
On my own altar
Thought I was solid
I was just falter
You tore the veil
Ripped my disguise
Opened my cage
Fire in my eyes (woo)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was that wolf with a plastic crown
You broke my teeth just to call me out
Dragged my sin through the dust and doubt
Then You washed me down
Now I scream it loud
[Chorus]
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line
From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night
I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life
(Jesus!)
You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right
(Jesus!)
You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You’re the King, You’re the King
I’m alive in Your fire
[Verse 2]
I don’t flex with the dark
That’s a weak throne
Devil tried to text
Left that read, phone cold
I was raised on rage
You rewrote that page
Turned hate to a blade
Cut chains, not veins
I don’t brag on me
I’m a cracked jar
Light leak out
That’s the bright star
They say “Where your God
When the world burns?”
Right there on the cross
Where my pride turned
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar that I tried to hide
You traced each line, said “You’re still Mine”
Took my guilt, threw it in the tide
Now I bite on truth
When the serpents lie
[Chorus]
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line
From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night
I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life
(Jesus!)
You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right
(Jesus!)
You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You’re the King, You’re the King
I’m alive in Your fire
[Bridge]
Let the proud hearts break
Let the stone eyes shake
Let the cold ones wake
When Your Name gets screamed
Let the grave dirt fall
When You split that wall
Every lost one called
By the One true King (hey!)
[Chorus]
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line
From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night
I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life
(Jesus!)
You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right
(Jesus!)
You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight
I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine
You’re the King, You’re the King
I’m alive in Your fire
