Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born of the ice and snow
With the winter walls in the dark, alone
The wildest night I became the one
And you’ll know you’re mine when the silence calls
[Verse 2]
Heavy is the crown
Only for the weak
[Verse 3]
A knife in my heart couldn’t slow me down
‘Cause power is power, my fire never goes out
I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
‘Cause power is power, now watch me burn it down
[Verse 4]
I went off for the coldest war
And I know of it ‘cause I’ve played before, yeah
I don’t know if we’re letting you stay
How do I know if we did it your way
You wanna take my place, put me away
I’ll die looking up at your face
[Verse 5]
How do I ever know?
Who can I trust?
Feelings of emptiness
Only love could kill me, god bless
[Verse 6]
A knife in my heart couldn’t slow me down
‘Cause power is power, my fire never goes out
I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
‘Cause power is power, now watch me burn it down
[Verse 7]
Breathe
Feel the air that I breathe (Yeah!)
Air that I, air that I breathe
[Verse 8]
Who’s hotter than a monster with a crown?
So swamped by high water, keep your head up, you might drown
Here this world is way colder by the day, we count it down
Been around, just been waiting now, she gon' come around
I took a drag, bust it out the gate, smile, little baby, slay
I wore a flag, put that on my face, ain’t nobody safe
With the mask, they gon’ have to see what they can’t erase
I took a lie so I took it back (Doo! Doo! Doo! Doo! Doo!) (Yeah)
[Verse 9]
Danger’s on my mind
Ain’t no knife, dagger, bullet that can do it
'Fore you even know, like "Alright, I should do it"
[Verse 10]
Heavy is the crown
But never for a queen (Oh yeah)
[Verse 11]
A knife in my heart, it couldn’t slow me down
‘Cause power is power, and fire never goes out
I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
‘Cause power is power, now watch me burn it down
[Verse 12]
Ooh yeah (Yeah!)
Now watch me burn it down
