[Intro] I was dead in my chest Cold breath No rest Till You stepped in the mess (yeah) [Verse 1] Blood on my hands I was proud of it Heart full of rust Talkin’ loud with it Tried every chain Still a slave in my brain Hear You call my name Cutting right through the shame All of my idols On my own altar Thought I was solid I was just falter You tore the veil Ripped my disguise Opened my cage Fire in my eyes (woo) [Pre-Chorus] I was that wolf with a plastic crown You broke my teeth just to call me out Dragged my sin through the dust and doubt Then You washed me down Now I scream it loud [Chorus] I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life (Jesus!) You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right (Jesus!) You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You’re the King, You’re the King I’m alive in Your fire [Verse 2] I don’t flex with the dark That’s a weak throne Devil tried to text Left that read, phone cold I was raised on rage You rewrote that page Turned hate to a blade Cut chains, not veins I don’t brag on me I’m a cracked jar Light leak out That’s the bright star They say “Where your God When the world burns?” Right there on the cross Where my pride turned [Pre-Chorus] Every scar that I tried to hide You traced each line, said “You’re still Mine” Took my guilt, threw it in the tide Now I bite on truth When the serpents lie [Chorus] I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life (Jesus!) You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right (Jesus!) You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You’re the King, You’re the King I’m alive in Your fire [Bridge] Let the proud hearts break Let the stone eyes shake Let the cold ones wake When Your Name gets screamed Let the grave dirt fall When You split that wall Every lost one called By the One true King (hey!) [Chorus] I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You took nails in Your wrists so I’d cross that line From the grave to the light, yeah I’m done with the night I was born in the fight, now I’m raised to life (Jesus!) You’re the war in my lungs when I can’t breathe right (Jesus!) You’re the roar in my chest when I stand and fight I got thorns in my hands but the crown ain’t mine You’re the King, You’re the King I’m alive in Your fire

rap, Aggressive Christian rap-metal with screamed male vocals on the hook; chugging dropped-tuned guitars, halftime stomps that flip to double-time blasts, and choirs buried under distortion. Verses ride a gritty trap groove with distorted 808-style low end and stuttering hi-hats glued to palm-muted riffs; chorus explodes with gang shouts and layered screams. Energy starts tense and climbs to a cathartic, shout-along final refrain with a sudden a cappella stop before the last hit., screamo, metal
