[Intro] [distorted chugging guitar, electronic drum beat, synth lead] Fear the crown Fear the crown [Verse 1] [melodic female vocals, palm-muted guitar] Lower your eyes when I enter the light Silence your voice, know your place tonight Every tower bends when I raise my hand Every frightened heart obeys my command I never rest, I never explain The skyline remembers the sound of my name You wanted a ruler then kneel to the crown One careless breath and I'll burn your world down [Pre-Chorus] [synth arpeggio, driving drums] Bow Let the sirens announce my arrival Fear is the law of survival Stand in my way, disappear in the flame Tonight everyone remembers my name [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion] Fear the crown, clear the way We own the light you will obey Blue fire, blackened sky Look at your queen when she passes by Steel hearts, engines cry Three young women electrified Break the lock, shake the ground Turn it up and fear the crown And fear the crown [Verse 2] [breathy female vocals, bass-heavy synth] I never planned to stand beneath these lights I lived unnoticed through a thousand nights No royal blood, no wild disguise Just a quiet strength they failed to recognize I worked before I learned to dream Stayed calm while life pulled at the seams Now the rhythm crawls into my veins Something buried is breaking its chains [Pre-Chorus] [building drums, synth swells] You thought that gentle couldn't fight You thought my silence had no bite I kept the monster locked inside Now hear me tear the dark apart Feel every scar inside my heart I found my voice, I found my stage Now let me out, unlock the cage No more hiding, no more shame Throw me straight into the flame I stood in silence long enough Now hear me scream I'm not giving up [Bridge] [spoken vocals, industrial synth textures] That's it, Sia. Tear it open. I'm just getting started. Now that's what I'm talking about. I'm not gonna hold back now. [Verse 3] [rapid rhythmic spoken vocals, fast electronic percussion] Quick crack, snap back, let's dial it One voice, split three ways, every layer still fits Aiming sharp words through the neon light Natural, manic, and factory ignited Fast beat, craft beat, no restraint Smile like a sinner, move like a saint Azula commands and Sia explodes I cut through the rhythm and overload One, two, three echoes perfectly spread Every syllable strikes at once through your head No separate answers or voices apart One jury tearing the whole beat apart Kick drum, rib cage, pulse on red Triple distortion, I turn my head Royal blue and the teal light flash Violet eyes turn the base into ash No break, no chain, no limit, switch Drop hits hard and the whole floor shifts Too quick, too sharp, too far gone Still throwing bars when the breath is gone Sia goes heavy, Azula stays cold On the loose fire, nobody can hold Don't try to shut us down, get lost in the sound Mix up rises, now fear the crown [Chorus] [full band, maximum intensity] Fear the crown, clear the way Three voices strike without delay Azula commands, Sia breaks free Jury becomes her own tragedy Blue fire, heavy cry Violet madness multiply No retreat, no backing down Turn it up and fear the crown [Outro] [heavy guitar riffs, synth leads] Who rules the flame? We do Who shakes the stage? All three of us Who found her voice? You did Now make the whole world listen Fear the crown, break the lock Three women own the light Soft or savage, come a while Every system's unchained tonight Steel hearts, no disguise Fire burns in feminine eyes One last drop, shake the ground Mix up rises, fear the crown Remember us They will And if they don't Get louder [final drum hit]
