[Verse 1]
Iron dawn on the hill
Boots in the ash below
I can hear the old bells call
Through the frost and stone
Your name carved in the shield
Your vow in the flame
I came with a broken crown
Still I speak your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise me up, let the sky ignite
One more step and I’m made of light
Hear the storm in my blood tonight
I will not kneel
[Chorus]
Crown of thunder, take me high
Crown of thunder, split the sky
We rise, we rise
Under fire, under fire
Crown of thunder, hear our cry
Crown of thunder, we defy
We rise, we rise
Till the darkness learns to die
[Verse 2]
Black wings over the gate
Cold eyes on the wall
I watched the red moon bleed
Then I answered the call
Steel on steel, heart on heart
No fear in my hands
If the world turns hard and cruel
I will still make a stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise me up, let the sky ignite
One more step and I’m made of light
Hear the storm in my blood tonight
I will not kneel
[Chorus]
Crown of thunder, take me high
Crown of thunder, split the sky
We rise, we rise
Under fire, under fire
Crown of thunder, hear our cry
Crown of thunder, we defy
We rise, we rise
Till the darkness learns to die
[Bridge]
[Strings swell]
When the old world falls apart
And the night takes my breath
I’ll carry your fire in my chest
I’ll sing through death
[Final Chorus]
Crown of thunder, take me high
Crown of thunder, split the sky
We rise, we rise
Under fire, under fire
Crown of thunder, hear our cry
Crown of thunder, we defy
We rise, we rise
Till the darkness learns to die
Crown of thunder, take me home
Crown of thunder, on the throne
We rise, we rise
Forever roaring in the sky
