Red, white, breaking chains
No gold throne in our veins
We said goodbye to crowns and lies
On a firework July night
No scepter in our skies
No subjects, just equal rights
We made a deal, signed it loud
No ruler’s voice above the crowd
We don’t bow, we don’t kneel
Truth and power in what we feel
Liberty’s not dressed in gold
It’s loud, it’s young, it’s uncontrolled
This is No Kings Day,
Throw your fists up, make ‘em sway
No more reigns, no more rings
We're the voices, not the kings
Sing it loud in every state
Not a crown can hold our fate
We're the people, wide awake —
This is No Kings Day
No portraits in the halls
Of men who thought they had it all
We built this from the ground we stand
Not from royal, trembling hands
Stars and stripes, not royal blue
Power’s not for just a few
Every name and every face
Has a place in this parade
We don’t bow, we don’t break
No crown's worth the risk we take
We’re the thunder, we’re the storm
The revolution reformed
This is No Kings Day,
Throw your fists up, make ‘em sway
No more reigns, no more rings
We're the voices, not the kings
We don’t serve, we decide
Every flag is unified
Hear the anthem when we say —
This is No Kings Day
[spoken/sung – dramatic pause, then build-up]
Forget the castles, burn the maps
History turns when people clap
We're not subjects, we’re the spark
Lighting up the rebel heart
From Boston tea to protest signs
We write freedom in our lines
Born to speak, not to obey
Raise your voice — No Kings Day
[Final Chorus – Extended/Double Chorus]
This is No Kings Day,
Throw your fists up, make ‘em sway
No more reigns, no more rings
We're the voices, not the kings
Let the world hear what we say
We’re the fire, we won’t fade
No more silence, no cliché —
This is No Kings Day
Ohhh, we rise, we fight, we sing
No more crowns, no more kings
Truth is louder anyway —
This is No Kings Day
[soft with echo effect]
No kings… no kings…
Only dreams and freedom’s wings...
This is… No Kings Day…
