[Verse 1] Born in a room of ash and gold My name was stitched in a feathered coat They kissed my brow with a curse and a crown Said, “You’ll save them all when you’re cut down” I learned to smile with a broken jaw I learned to bow to the same old law Every miracle came with a price Every blessing had a blade inside [Pre-Chorus] Now the sun don’t warm me It only marks my skin And every oath they swore me Just drags me back again [Chorus] Golden era, silver lines Cut me clean, I’ll still survive Golden era, silver lines I was born to burn and shine (shine and shine) Golden era, silver lines Hold my curse, I hold the sky Golden era, silver lines I bleed myth and I don’t hide [Verse 2] I walked through halls where the statues wept With my hands full of all they’d left One for the famine, one for the flood One for the kiss that turned to blood My father’s voice in the thunderclap My mother’s tears in the battle map They said, “Be kind, but never weak” So I bit my tongue till it learned to speak [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon won’t save me It only shows the scar And every prayer they gave me Pulled me back too far [Chorus] Golden era, silver lines Cut me clean, I’ll still survive Golden era, silver lines I was born to burn and shine (shine and shine) Golden era, silver lines Hold my curse, I hold the sky Golden era, silver lines I bleed myth and I don’t hide [Bridge] If I fall, let the stone remember If I rise, let the wolves all see I am not your perfect omen I am blood and I am prophecy One more wound, one more altar One more name in the darkened sand Still I stand with the broken halo Still I turn this curse to flame in my hand [Final Chorus] Golden era, silver lines Cut me clean, I’ll still survive Golden era, silver lines I was born to burn and shine (shine and shine) Golden era, silver lines Hold my curse, I hold the sky Golden era, silver lines I bleed myth and I don’t hide [Outro] Golden era Silver lines I was born To survive
