[Intro] [orchestral strings, brass stabs, rapid double-kick drumming] [choir vocalizing: Ah-ah-ah] [Verse 1] [male vocals, palm-muted guitar gallop] I built this throne from broken bones While thunder crashed inside my chest Each prayer screamed turned to stone The silence burns where hope once blessed [female vocals join in harmony] Lava flows black beneath my skin These winds won't carry what I've been The crown I wear weighs more than sin But still I rule this hell within [Pre-Chorus] [choir: Da-da-da-da] The queen of wrath returns [choir: Da-da-da-da] Where mercy finally burns [Chorus] [soaring female vocals, full orchestral backing] I am the storm that breaks the dawn She is the fire that burns us all This falling town will not be throned Heroes before the final fall [Verse 2] [male vocals, staccato guitar riffs] My breath turns air to bitter ice Each word a speak a beggar's spill I traded love for something twice As dark as any mortal's will [female vocals] This empty glass shall now be frayed The heart that loved now all in chains I drowned in pools of my mistakes But power flows from what remains [Pre-Chorus] [choir: Da-da-da-da] The queen of wrath returns [choir: Da-da-da-da] Watch how the righteous burn [Chorus] [female vocals, double-kick drums] I am the storm that breaks the dawn She is the fire that burns us all This falling town will not be throned Heroes before the final fall [Bridge] [male vocals, half-time feel] Can you love what I've become? Can you see past all this pain? Every curse bears my true name But the throne is mine to claim [Guitar Solo] [harmonized lead guitars, fast shredding, orchestral swells] [Chorus] [full ensemble, choir, heavy brass] I am the storm that breaks the dawn She is the fire that burns us all This falling town will not be throned Heroes before the final fall [Outro] [choir: Da-da-da-da] [male vocals: Mercy's gone] [choir: Da-da-da-da] [male vocals: Broken throne] [female vocals: I am the storm] [final orchestral hit]
