Take the Crown Lyrics

[Intro]
So sorry
So sorry
But you're going down

[Verse 1]
Under the lights and thunder
We come to life
You roll the bones and wonder
What fate decides

[Pre-Chorus]
The screams, the frenzy
Reveals the worst
As hearts of many
Hunger to be first

[Chorus]
Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
'Cause in the end
We will stand our ground
[Verse 2]
Blood on the diamond flowing
Tears fall tonight
There is no sense in hoping
You won't survive

[Pre-Chorus]
The sound, the fury
Will shake the earth
As cowards scurry
Knowing we've returned

[Chorus]
Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
'Cause in the end
We will stand our ground

[Post-Chorus]
You will bow down in the end
Know our reign we will defend
[Bridge]
Young and impossible (Impossible)
As we stake our claim (Our claim)
In the league of unstoppables (Unstoppables)
Your resistance in the end will be in vain

[Chorus]
Let's state the obvious right now
We'll be victorious
We'll take the crown
Just like we've always done before
You're digging in
We'll step around
'Cause in the end
We will stand our ground

[Post-Chorus]
You're going down but we're so sorry
You're going down but we're so sorry

How to Format Lyrics:
