[Verse 1] Twenty-six years in the storm Little girl heart, grown up worn Ice on my shoulders, snow in my shoes I learned how to lose, then I learned how to move They saw the bruises, they saw the fight I saw the dark and I held on tight Every hard mile, every scar I kept Built these heels from the tears I wept [Pre-Chorus] Let them talk, let them stare They don't know what got me there I was buried, I was bent But I never, never went [Chorus] Yes, I'm the Red Queen Took my seat, took my crown Yes, I'm the Red Queen All that pain can't drag me down Let my heat rise, watch it glow I don't just survive, I put on a show Yes, I'm the Red Queen And I won't bow down [Verse 2] Now they don't see the little girl They see the woman, steel and pearls Not the cracks they left in me Just the fire that set me free I wore my hurt like a second skin Now I let the lightning in If they want whispers, let them go I'm too busy letting my blood-red soul show [Pre-Chorus] Let them talk, let them stare They don't know what got me there I was buried, I was bent But I never, never went [Chorus] Yes, I'm the Red Queen Took my seat, took my crown Yes, I'm the Red Queen All that pain can't drag me down Let my heat rise, watch it glow I don't just survive, I put on a show Yes, I'm the Red Queen And I won't bow down [Bridge] I don't need mercy from a world that laughed I turned every broken thing into craft Now I stand where the strong ones shine With a heart like fire and a will like mine [Final Chorus] Yes, I'm the Red Queen Took my seat, took my crown Yes, I'm the Red Queen All that pain can't drag me down Let my heat rise, watch it glow I don't just survive, I put on a show Yes, I'm the Red Queen And I won't bow down
