[Verse 1] Ash on her armor Smoke in her hair Scales on the staircase Heat in the air Katie on the high stone Eyes like a storm Hand on a hilt Trying to stay warm [Chorus] Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Every roar answers her name Katie rules the sky But her shoulders stagger From the weight of every flame Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Every wingbeat sounds like war Katie stands alone while the kingdoms gather And they ask her still for more (for more) [Verse 2] Scrolls on the table Blood on the map Four distant banners Pull at her back Smiles for the courtiers Steel for the night Sigh caught halfway Between duty and fright [Chorus] Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Every roar answers her name Katie rules the sky But her shoulders stagger From the weight of every flame Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Every wingbeat sounds like war Katie stands alone while the kingdoms gather And they ask her still for more (oh, more) [Bridge] She dreams of fields Quiet and green No burning cities No shattered kings But fire chose her Called her by name So she breathes deep And walks through the flame (hey!) [Chorus] Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Every roar answers her name Katie rules the sky Though her heart is cracking Under ash and under fame Heavy is the crown for the queen of dragons Yet she lifts it Battle-worn Katie Tired eyes on the red horizon As the ancient oaths are sworn
