Dark Xena Warrior Princess

Intro

No warning shot, no waiting for the sign

I'm already moving, already past the line

(past the line, past the line)

Verse 1

You bring a shield forged out of borrowed reflection

I bring a blade sharpened by pure intention

Every scar on this armor is proof of a fight I've won

While you're polishing steel for a war that's never begun

(I've won, I've won)

Pre-Chorus

This is the battlefield, not a game of pretend

I don't flinch, I fight until the end

(until the end, until the end)

Chorus

I am Xena, I don't retreat

War cry rising underneath my feet

You can dress the part, but you can't take the throne

This is my battlefield now, and it's mine alone

I am Xena, I don't retreat

Victory's earned in the heat of defeat

Verse 2

You show up in shadows, call it your battle stance

I've bled for every step, you've barely learned to dance

You talk about a kingdom you have never had to guard

While I've held this ground alone, through every hit, every scar

(every scar, every scar)

Pre-Chorus

This is the battlefield, not a game of pretend

I don't flinch, I fight until the end

(until the end, until the end)

Chorus

I am Xena, I don't retreat

War cry rising underneath my feet

You can dress the part, but you can't take the throne

This is my battlefield now, and it's mine alone

I am Xena, I don't retreat

Victory's earned in the heat of defeat

Bridge

No mercy in this, but I'll give you your due

You stepped on my battlefield, so here's what's true

This isn't hatred, this is just how legends collide

I don't beg for a crown, I take it in stride

(in stride, in stride)

Chorus

I am Xena, and the war is done

You came for a battle, but there's only one

This was never a duel, it was just the truth on display

Bow to the battlefield, then walk away

(walk away, walk away)

I am Xena, and the war is done

Legends don't share the throne, there's only one
