[Intro] The Crown I Carry Yeah. I know who I am. I know what they call me. The hero. The saint. The damn problem with a sword. (laugh) And they're not completely wrong. [Verse 1] I walked through fire and I never looked away. I carried every promise that I swore I would obey. I took the broken pieces, gave them somewhere they could stand. Built a home for the forgotten with my own two hands. They say my name like thunder. They say my light can heal. They see the wings above me... They don't know how heavy they feel. I won't pretend I'm ordinary. I won't deny what I became. I earned every scar upon me. I earned this fucking name. [Pre-Chorus] So raise your eyes. I won't look down. I know exactly who I am. I wear the fire. I wear the crown. But I still remember where I began. [Chorus] I carry this crown, but I won't let it own me. I carry this flame, but it won't control me. I know my worth, I know my name. I know the power that runs through my veins. Call me arrogant. Call me proud. I won't disappear into the crowd. The strongest version of me... Is still the one who knows she's not above. [Verse 2] They love the armor. They love the sword. They love the stories people tell. They love the savior. They love the legend. They love the angel from the battlefield. But legends become prisons When you cannot set them down. And every perfect image... Builds a higher place to fall from. I can command a battlefield. I can make the darkness flee. I can stand before a thousand blades... And still be afraid of me. [Pre-Chorus] Because power feels like purpose. And purpose feels like truth. But even righteous certainty... Can blind the eyes that see it through. [Chorus] I carry this crown, but I won't let it own me. I carry this flame, but it won't control me. I know my worth, I know my name. I know the power that runs through my veins. Call me arrogant. Call me proud. I won't disappear into the crowd. The strongest version of me... Is still the one who knows she's not above. [Bridge] You want a perfect hero? You want a flawless saint? A woman who never doubts herself? A sword that never breaks? NO. I am not your idol. I am not your god. I am a woman with a promise... And the strength to carry on. [Breakdown] I WILL NOT HIDE MY POWER! I WILL NOT DENY MY LIGHT! I FOUGHT FOR EVERY VICTORY! I EARNED EVERY FIGHT! BUT IF I START BELIEVING... THAT I STAND ABOVE... THEN MY PRIDE BECOMES... THE THING I CANNOT LOVE. [Final Chorus] I carry this crown, but I choose what it means. I carry this fire, but I know what it needs. A sword in my hand. A heart that can bend. The strength to protect... The wisdom to listen again. Call me the hottest paladin alive. Call me the girl who refuses to die. I know who I am. I know what I stand for. But the crown I carry... Is never my master. [Outro] (laughing softly) Okay. Maybe I do have a little bit of a pride problem. ... But come on. Have you seen this armor?
