Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He wore a silver crest
She wore a red one
Raised on different walls
Taught to fear the other
His father said, "Strike first"
Her mother said, "Never"
So they grew with knives in hand
And names that cut like weather
[Pre-Chorus]
They met at ash and stone
At the edge of the old field
One sword up, one chin high
Both too proud to kneel
He said, "I know your face"
She said, "I know your blade"
Then the silence cracked open
And nothing stayed the same
[Chorus]
Born to fight, born to break
(We were born to fight)
But your eyes changed the shape
(Your eyes changed the shape)
We were sworn to be flame
Sworn to be fate
Now I can't hate your name
I can't hate your name
[Verse 2]
He found her laughing once
By a shattered gatepost
She found his hands shook
When the war drums came close
He learned her favorite fruit
She learned his secret scars
Two enemies in armor
Two hearts behind the bars
[Pre-Chorus]
They met at ash and stone
At the edge of the old field
One sword up, one chin high
Both too proud to kneel
He said, "I know your face"
She said, "I know your blade"
Then the silence cracked open
And nothing stayed the same
[Chorus]
Born to fight, born to break
(We were born to fight)
But your eyes changed the shape
(Your eyes changed the shape)
We were sworn to be flame
Sworn to be fate
Now I can't hate your name
I can't hate your name
[Bridge]
Let the banners fall
Let the kingdom hear
We were made for war
But love got here
Your hand in mine
Like a truce made true
If they call us traitors
Then I'll betray them too
[Final Chorus]
Born to fight, born to break
(We were born to fight)
But your eyes changed the shape
(Your eyes changed the shape)
We were sworn to be flame
Sworn to be fate
Now I won't hate your name
I won't hate your name
Born to fight, born to break
(We were born to fight)
Crown of thorns, hand in hand
We choose the light
