Return of the Queen

Intro

Saundo

(Sand drifts against metal)

(Distant thunder)

Verse 1

Dust

Heavy air

Cold copper crown

Tucked under the dune

Breathless

I found the hollow gold

It felt warm against my palm

Buried deep under the shifting crest

Sunlight biting at my neck

Thirsty

The dunes bow down low

Watching my shadow grow long

Old blood

Older names

The heat is humming a secret

I am the secret

Chorus

I am the return

The return of the queen

From the dust

From the dream

The throne remembers

The throne remembers me

I am the fire

I am the fire in the breeze

I am the return

I am the return of the queen

Post-Chorus

Bow down

Bow down

Now they see

Now they see

Verse 2

Spice

In the veins

Unlocked

A door made of glass

Time

Stretching thin

Like wire

Pulling the stars

I don't walk I glide

Silk on skin

Iron in the bone

Sharp

Sudden

Sovereign

My wrath is a quiet thing

My wrath is a holy thing

Waiting for the sky to crack open

Chorus

I am the return

The return of the queen

From the dust

From the dream

The throne remembers

The throne remembers me

I am the fire

I am the fire in the breeze

I am the return

I am the return of the queen

Post-Chorus

Bow down

Bow down

Now they see

Now they see

Bridge

Desert winds calling my name

Desert winds calling my name

I was born

I was born to reign

Crown me in fire

Crown me in gold

I am the story

I am the story

I am the story

Already told

Drop

Queen

Queen

(Heavy distorted guitar)

(Industrial percussion)

Final Chorus

I am the return

The return of the queen

From the dust

From the dream

The universe echoes

The universe echoes me

I am the code

I am the key

I am the return

I am the return of the queen

Outro

I was never lost

I was waiting

I was waiting

I was waiting

(Wind fades)
