[Verse 1] Godfrey wore the crown of war Serosh on his back Beast-heart tamed by will But the blade still called him back Godwyn stood in gold Won glory in the dragon storm Fortissax became his friend And lightning took new form [Pre-Chorus] Golden blood runs deep Through ruin and flame Some were born to rise Some were marked by shame [Chorus] Golden lineage, golden line Who will hold the rune in time? Golden lineage, rise or fall Every name still shakes the hall Golden lineage, hear them call Some are born to lose it all [Verse 2] Godrick hid in Stormveil's stone Weak hands, hungry eyes He took the broken and the lost To make his body rise Morgott kept the throne of ash Mohg kept the blood-red flame Twin sons sealed in sewer dark Then breaking free became their name Rykard turned to hungry paths Radahn chased the warlord sky Ranni let her great rune go And chose another night [Pre-Chorus] Golden blood runs deep But the line can bend Some inherit a crown Some remake the end [Chorus] Golden lineage, golden line Who will hold the rune in time? Golden lineage, rise or fall Every name still shakes the hall Golden lineage, hear them call Some are born to lose it all [Bridge] Miquella with the gentle hand Malenia with the scarlet bloom Both reached for a higher world While sickness filled the room Melina, ash and ember-soul Burned and bodiless, alone Messmer with the serpent curse And fire locked in bone [Final Chorus] Golden lineage, golden line Who will hold the rune in time? Golden lineage, rise or fall Every name still shakes the hall Golden lineage, hear them call Some are born to lose it all
