[Verse 1]
She walked in soaked with starlight
Ash in her hair
Bare feet on stone
Old scars shaped like ancient runes
Like the hills themselves had signed her bones
They say she drank the river’s spark
Spit it back as blazing truth
Called the crowned and called them cowards
Spoke with the calm of a fearless youth
[Chorus]
Sing for the girl who carries fire
Raise your cups and call her name
Flame in her hands
Truth in her laughter
Born from prophecy
Not from shame
Brothers and sisters
Stand beside her
Let your quiet hearts conspire
Kingdoms fall to drunk old liars
Kingdoms rise with girls of fire
[Verse 2]
The seer in the market muttered
“Silver storm in mortal skin
When she laughs
The walls will tremble
When she cries
The war will end”
Blacksmiths laid their hammers down
Farmers straightened aching backs
“Teach us how to bear that burden
We will walk behind your tracks”
[Chorus]
Sing for the girl who carries fire
Raise your cups and call her name
Flame in her hands
Truth in her laughter
Born from prophecy
Not from shame
Mothers and fathers
Stand beside her
Let your quiet hearts conspire
Tyrant thrones grow cold and tired
Crowds burn bright with girls of fire
[Bridge]
[Voices peeling off into rounds
Men then women then all]
Follow the footsteps
Ember by ember
Old words waking in the stone (hey!)
“Child of cinder
Kingdom mender”
That’s the toast we carve in oak (ooh)
[Chorus]
Sing for the girl who carries fire
Raise your cups and take your stand
Flame in her hands
Truth in her footsteps
Blazing through this battered land
All who are weary
Walk behind her
Let your hidden hopes rise higher
We are the kingdom
We’re the choir
And every voice becomes her fire
