Centuries

[Verse 1]
We're standing on sacred ground tonight
Shadows etched to the unmarked graves of mine
Borrowed eyes
So I carry your legacies
Underneath these heavy bones that were passed down to me
Can't redefine
Our thankless lives

[Pre-Chorus]
Here is a birthright baptized by pain
Blade from the gods who don't know our names
Follow the heartlines beckoning me away

[Chorus]
Seeds planted underneath
The castles of false kings
Reborn under our skin
I draw the line where I begin
Fall so I can lose it all
Listen to the call
I choose to respond
Centuries in my lungs
The lives of saints and devils in my blood

[Verse 2]
I am hunted by inherited debts
I've given years to a ghost I've never met
Thieves at rest
I drink the poison from the monster's throat
As I barter off what I have left to call my own
I'll redefine
My bloodmarked life

[Pre-Chorus]
And I am the daughter of root and flame
Carving our heartlines over their names
Bleeding the history they couldn't hide away

[Chorus]
Seeds planted underneath
The castles of false kings
Reborn under our skin
I draw the line where I begin
Fall so I can lose it all
Listen to the call
I choose to respond
Centuries in my lungs
The lives of saints and devils in my blood

[Bridge]
I am sinking through the shallow earth
Along the threat that ties our worth
And I am more, I am so much more
Daughter of daughters, Scion of Kings
I'll wear my name like holy wings
And wield the sun, so light me up
And watch me fly away

[Chorus]
Seeds planted underneath
The castles of false kings
Reborn under our skin
I draw the line where I begin
Fall so I can lose it all
Listen to the call
I choose to respond
Centuries in my lungs
The lives of saints and devils are in my blood
