[Verse 1] I built a world from glass Under my tongue, a crown Every cracked reflection Learned my name out loud I walk through silver halls With dust on velvet hands The doors remember me Even when I can't [Pre-Chorus] Hold the line Hold the flame Call my blood By its name [Chorus] I am the crown I am the storm I am the vow You were born for (you were born for) I am the crown I am the thorn I stand my ground And the night bends low [Verse 2] Seven bells are ringing From the tower in my chest I kept the old map burning So I’d never feel lost again You came with empty pockets And a stare like sharpened stone I gave you half my kingdom You gave me back a throne [Pre-Chorus] Hold the line Hold the flame Call my blood By its name [Chorus] I am the crown I am the storm I am the vow You were born for (you were born for) I am the crown I am the thorn I stand my ground And the night bends low [Bridge] Let the banners tear Let the cold wind bite I was made to rise From a ruined night Take my hand Take my name We don't kneel We reclaim [Final Chorus] I am the crown I am the storm I am the vow You were born for (you were born for) I am the crown I am the thorn I stand my ground And the night bends low (low, low) I am the crown I am the crown
