[VERSE 1] I was born with fire damage Red-gold chaos in my veins Every noble looked disgusted Every kingdom knew my name Human heart Embercore Too alive to be controlled So I learned to bite like fury Before the world could make me fold [PRE-CHORUS] Then she looked at me like sunlight Not a weapon Not a curse And the Star ripped through my chest Like the universe reversed [CHORUS] Set it off Break the chains I survived their holy flames I was never made to kneel Red-gold fire Burning wild She saw the man beneath the child And the Star made something real [VERSE 2] One stands steady through the chaos One hides winter in his veins One still drums against the silence One turns sorrow into grace One keeps laughing in the shadows Emerald smoke behind his grin And somehow all those shattered pieces Became the closest thing to kin [BREAKDOWN] I thought love was weakness Until she chose me anyway [FINAL CHORUS] Raise the fire Raise the dead Carry every word she said I would burn the heavens down for them Red-gold light Embercore I don't run from who I was anymore And when the Star began to sing I finally became whole [OUTRO] No chains No gods No surrender
