[Intro]
We built our thrones out of thunder
We carved our names into stone
We called the night our kingdom
But we were never less alone

[Verse]
Golden lights on the avenue
A thousand hands in the air
Every smile was a loaded truth
Every promise was a dare
We wore the fame like holy fire
We fed the dream with gasoline
But underneath the velvet choir
We were ghosts inside the scene

[Pre-Chorus]
And every crown has a crack in the gold
Every king has a secret untold
Every heart made of iron will bend
When the glory starts coming to an end

[Chorus]
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rise so high just to come crashing down
We scream our names into the storm
Still bleeding where the throne was born
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rule the night in burning towns
But when the lights go out somehow
We find the truth beneath the crown

[Verse]
We had friends with diamond faces
We had lovers made of flame
We drank the wine of empty places
And called it fortune, called it fame
Every mirror knew our hunger
Every shadow knew our fear
We were shouting like we’d conquered
But the fall was drawing near

[Pre-Chorus]
And every crown has a crack in the gold
Every king has a secret untold
Every heart made of iron will break
When there’s nothing left for pride to take

[Chorus]
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rise so high just to come crashing down
We scream our names into the storm
Still bleeding where the throne was born
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rule the night in burning towns
But when the lights go out somehow
We find the truth beneath the crown

[Instrumental]
Oh, the guitars cry like sirens
Over drums like marching rain
The kingdom shakes in silence
And glory starts to change

[Bridge]
Maybe strength is not the armor
Maybe power is not the throne
Maybe all the kings are beggars
When they face the dark alone
Maybe every fall is calling
Maybe every scar is proof
That a heart can keep on burning
When it finally tells the truth

[Breakdown]
No more lies in the golden hall
No more pride when the towers fall
No more hiding behind the sound
Iron hearts, broken crowns

[Build-up]
Raise your hands if you’ve been shattered
Raise your voice if you still stand
Let the ruins become an altar
Let the fire take command

[Chorus]
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rise so high just to come crashing down
We scream our names into the storm
Still bleeding where the throne was born
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We rule the night in burning towns
But when the lights go out somehow
We find the truth beneath the crown

[Chorus]
Iron hearts and broken crowns
We are not lost when we hit the ground
We are the sparks the dark allows
Still alive beneath broken crowns
Iron hearts and broken crowns
Let the thunder shake us now
We lost the throne but we learned how
To live without the weight of crowns

[Outro]
We built our thrones out of thunder
We watched them fall to the ground
But somewhere deep in the ashes
We heard a stronger sound
