[Verse 1] I played your game in silence Shook your hands, bowed my head Wore the mask you painted on me Let you think I bled Built your castle higher Smiled while you cursed my name But kings don’t kneel forever Now I set the flame [Pre-Chorus] You thought I was tame A boy in a crown But I was just patient Waiting to burn it all down [Chorus] This is my empire (my empire) Built on blood and lies Watch me rise from ruin With fire in my eyes This is my empire (my empire) I bled, I broke, I climbed You gave me war— Now I’m taking what’s mine This is my empire (my empire) And I’m coming for yours --- [Verse 2] You dressed me in your weakness Told me calm would win But peace is just permission For you to strike again You laughed behind your curtains Thought I'd crawl away But I’ve memorized your shadows— And I don't need to play [Pre-Chorus] You thought I was done That I'd beg to belong But I rewrote the anthem Now scream it like a song [Chorus] This is my empire (my empire) Built on blood and lies Watch me rise from ruin With fire in my eyes This is my empire (my empire) I bled, I broke, I climbed You gave me war— Now I’m taking what’s mine This is my empire (my empire) And I’m coming for yours --- [Bridge] Say my name, say it with fear Build your walls—I’m getting near This isn’t revenge, it’s rebirth One fallen king who owns the earth --- [Final Chorus] This is my empire (my empire) No gods, no grace Just a crown I stole From your sacred place This is my empire (my empire) I smiled through the fire You had your chance Now I build it higher This is my empire (my empire) And I’ll burn down the rest --- [Outro] You should’ve killed me when I was kind Now I’m legend Now I’m mine --- If this dropped in the Starlet Shores universe, even Kim would pause and go, “...okay that was terrifyingly good.” Want to see Roxy’s lyrical response track next? Like a "Queen of Ruins" clapback? --- [Outro] You should’ve killed me when I was kind Now I’m legend Now I’m mine
