[Verse 1: Male vocals, defiant] Architects in ruins, wake up king of broken kingdoms Crown made out of thorns, blueprints turning into dust before the concrete forms Building temples on the quicksand, watch 'em sink and fall Throne's just an empty echo bouncing off the walls [Verse 1: Female vocals, haunting echo, underneath] Carrying the castle while the foundation cracks beneath Royal blood that's poison running generations deep Every stone I'm laying down another wall collapses Architect of empires built on funeral and ashes [Chorus: Both voices unified, powerful] But this is day one This is where it starts Day one Rebuilding broken parts Tomorrow's got hope Written in the sky Day one This is where I rise [Verse 2: Male vocals, raw] They bow down to the savior but the savior's drowning too Wearing gold that's weighing heavy, can't escape what's true Marble turns to rubble, every monument I raise Walking through the ruins of a hundred different days [Verse 2: Female vocals, counterpoint] Lightning strikes the tower, thunder shaking throne and cross Crown's a noose disguised as glory, victory looks like loss I've been watching from the shadows of your crumbling throne Picking up the pieces of a castle made of stone [Verse 2: Male vocals, confession and release] You don't have to carry kingdoms that were never yours to save I'm still here in the ruins, I'm still here, I'm still brave [Chorus: Both voices unified] I feel it, I break, but I won't stay down I feel it, I break, turn it all around This is day one This is where it starts Day one Healing broken hearts Tomorrow's got hope I can see the light Day one And I'm gonna fight [Outro: Both voices, fading] Day one Day one Day one Day one
