[Verse 1] Scars on my shadow Ash in my lungs Built you a kingdom By burning my sons Every headline Carved into my skin Thought I was justice I was just the sin [Pre-Chorus] Can a monster learn to bow? Face the mirror Face it now If this is all that I become I’ll burn it down Become someone [Chorus] I am the hellfire legacy Crawling out the smoke of who I used to be If there’s a price for every vow I broke Let me walk alone through the flame and the choke I’m not the hero that you wanted to see But I’ll stand here Let your hatred fall on me If I can’t change what’s written in my past I’ll change the ending Even if I burn last (burn last) [Verse 2] Kids on the rooftop Watching me fall Name on a billboard Nothing at all Every blue flame Spelling out “regret” Can I earn love From the ones I forget? [Pre-Chorus] Can a tyrant learn to bend? Turn apology to mend? If this is all that I can give I’ll bleed in fire so they live [Chorus] I am the hellfire legacy Crawling out the smoke of who I used to be If there’s a price for every vow I broke Let me walk alone through the flame and the choke I’m not the hero that you wanted to see But I’ll stand here Let your hatred fall on me If I can’t change what’s written in my past I’ll change the ending Even if I burn last (burn last) [Bridge] Call me villain Call me fake Every title Every ache If there’s a way To make this right I’ll burn my name To give them light (hey!) [Chorus] I am the hellfire legacy Crawling out the smoke of who I used to be If there’s a price for every vow I broke Let me walk alone through the flame and the choke I’m not the hero that you wanted to see But I’ll stand here Let your hatred fall on me If I can’t change what’s written in my past I’ll change the ending Even if I burn last
