(Verse 1) "You'll never be like them, you are a king They are your property, just another belonging An act of kindness to establish their debt Then what you want, you will get"

But to the heart beating in this shell I feel the burning flames of hell Before I can be what I am expected to be I need to subjugate the woman in me

(Chorus) All this before me is what I am owed The map I was given leads me down this road But I can't help notice something is wrong The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light Our paths laid out by original sin Why is who we are not determined from within?

(Verse 2) "Where is your crown? What have you done? You've anointed the whores with the glory of a son You lower yourself and bring shame to us all Better you die than for the rest of us to fall"

Claws sharper than steel, you cut me deep Stole my dreams, they weren't yours to keep Bound in chains to my throne, I was never free Carry on the line, by force if need be

(Chorus) All this before me is what I am owed The map I was given leads me down this road But I can't help notice something is wrong The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light Our paths laid out by original sin Why is who we are not determined from within?

(Bridge) I reject this crown I reject this throne I reject this lie It was never earned, by you or I Tear out my heart and let my body die

(Chorus) All this before me is what I am owed The map I was given leads me down this road But I can't help notice something is wrong The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light Our paths laid out by original sin Why is who we are not determined from within?
