[Intro]
I saw my name in a line of flame
I heard the crowd call out my name
The higher I climbed, the less I knew
What kind of man I was turning into

[Verse]
I put my faith in the roar of the night
In leather, thunder, and electric light
I told myself I was born to reign
But every kingdom begins with pain

I chased the sky on a road of sparks
Left good hearts waiting in the dark
I kissed the mirror, I fed the lie
Said I was gold while I burned inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Every dream has a price to pay
Every throne has a debt someday
And mine came calling loud

[Chorus]
I wear a crown made of fire
Burning me higher and higher
I thought I owned the flame
But the flame knows my name

I wear a crown made of fire
Built from hunger and desire
If I shine before I fall
Will I lose it all

[Verse]
The cameras flashed like judgment eyes
Every handshake wore a disguise
They said, be strong, never kneel
Never show what you really feel

So I turned my heart to a fortress wall
Painted glory over every fall
But love got tired of standing by
While I made heaven from another lie

[Pre-Chorus]
Every cheer became a chain
Every victory tasted like pain
But I still wanted more

[Chorus]
I wear a crown made of fire
Burning me higher and higher
I thought I owned the flame
But the flame knows my name

I wear a crown made of fire
Built from hunger and desire
If I shine before I fall
Will I lose it all

[Bridge]
One day the lights will fade
One day the gold will break
One day the smoke will clear
And I will see myself here

[Breakdown]
No prayer in the spotlight
No truth in the fame
No heart stays unbroken
When pride lights the flame

[Solo]

[Chorus]
I wear a crown made of fire
Burning me higher and higher
I thought I owned the flame
But the flame knows my name

I wear a crown made of fire
Built from hunger and desire
If I shine before I fall
Will I lose it all

[Outro]
I saw my name in a line of flame
Now every spark is calling my name
