[Verse 1] You built a kingdom out of gasoline Lit the match and blamed it all on me Now the walls are falling piece by piece And you're looking for somebody to save the scene I watched the smoke crawl across the sky Heard the sirens singing lullabies Everybody loves a martyr till they realize The saint and sinner share the same disguise [Pre-Chorus] Go ahead Point your fingers Tell the story how you want By the time the truth arrives I'll already be gone [Chorus] Call me the Queen of the Ashes Dancing where the fire's been Everybody wants forgiveness Nobody admits their sins I don't need your hallelujah I don't need another crown If the world is burning down I'll wear the flames and own the town I'm the Queen of the Ashes.... now [Verse 2] Everybody wants a clean escape A pretty lie and a safer fate But the monsters hiding under your bed Look a lot like the thoughts inside your head You can run but the smoke gets in your lungs You can hide but the damage has been done Funny how the truth sounds dangerous When it's finally spoken by someone [Pre-Chorus] Go ahead Write me off Put my name on every crime If you're looking for a villain You'll find one every time [Chorus] Call me the Queen of the Ashes Dancing where the fire's been Everybody wants forgiveness Nobody admits their sins I don't need your hallelujah I don't need another crown If the world is burning down I'll wear the flames and own the town I'm the Queen of the Ashes.... now [Bridge] Every spark becomes a wildfire Every lie becomes a scar You keep praying for a savior While you're making who we are I can hear the city shaking I can feel the pressure rise If you're looking for a monster Take a look behind your eyes [Breakdown] Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn I was never afraid Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn I was made this way [Final Chorus] Call me the Queen of the Ashes Standing where the angels fell Everybody loves a hero Till they learn her story well I don't need your hallelujah I don't need another crown If the world is burning down I'll wear the flames and own the town Forever wearing the ashes now [Outro] You can keep your perfect heaven You can keep your golden throne I'd rather rule the ruins Than never have a world of my own Call me the Queen of the Ashes Dancing where the fire's been Everybody wants forgiveness Nobody admits their sins I don't need your hallelujah I don't need another crown If the world is burning down I'll wear the flames and own the town I'm the Queen of the Ashes.... now
