Crown Me in Flame

[Intro] Chains on the ceiling

Storm in the wire

Something is breathing

Under the fire

[Verse 1] I was a shadow with a broken frame

A nameless thing that swallowed shame

They sold me mirrors, sold me pain

And called it weakness in my veins

Then came the doctor with a hungry grin

Said, “Let the old skin cave within”

He drew a circle, lit the room

And stitched ambition to my doom

[Pre-Chorus] Crank the wheel, raise the spark

Wake the beast inside the dark

Every scar, every strain

Feeds the engine in my brain

[Chorus] Build me from thunder, crown me in flame

Carve out the frailty, bury the name

Make me a titan, make me a curse

Better than human, not hollow, or worse

Bend every bone till the heavens shake

Forge every fear into muscle and ache

If beauty is power and power is sin

Then let the monster under my skin

[Verse 2] I learned to worship the weight and chain

To turn my sorrow into gain

The altar screamed beneath my hands

While lightning crawled across the stands

No saint can save what pride invents

No prayer can mend these instruments

The crowd all cheered, the curtains rose

But no one saw what the hunger chose

[Pre-Chorus] Crank the wheel, split the night

Dress the wound in stage-born light

Every dream, every lie

Wants a body that cannot die

[Chorus] Build me from thunder, crown me in flame

Carve out the frailty, bury the name

Make me a titan, make me a curse

Better than human, not hollow, or worse

Bend every bone till the heavens shake

Forge every fear into muscle and ache

If beauty is power and power is sin

Then let the monster under my skin

[Bridge] I stood before the painted crowd

Too tall for grace, too vain for shroud

They clapped their hands, they praised the form

But missed the rot beneath the storm

I wanted strength, I wanted fame

I wanted flesh without the blame

Now every mirror kneels to me

And shows the thing I failed to see

[Breakdown] Built from thunder

Fed by pride

No soul under

Perfect hide

Raise the voltage

Crack the stone

Worship muscle

Die alone

[Final Chorus] Build me from thunder, crown me in flame

Carve out the frailty, bury the name

Make me a titan, make me a curse

Better than human, not hollow, or worse

Bend every bone till the heavens shake

Forge every fear into muscle and ache

If beauty is power and power is sin

Then let the monster under my skin

[Outro] Chains on the ceiling

Ash on the wire

Something is kneeling

Inside the fire
