Power Is Power

(from "For the Throne" compilation)

[Verse 1]
Em
I was born of the ice and snow
         Am                              C/G
With the winter wolves, in the dark, alone
    Em
The wildest night, I became the one
           Am                                    C/G
And you'll know you're mine when the silence calls
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em    Bm     Am
Heavy is the crown
C
Only for the weak
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Em                 Bm                     Am
   The knife in my heart couldn't slow me down
                      C                   D
'Cause power is power, the fire never goes out
Em                Bm                      Am
   I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
                                                      Em
'Cause power is power, now watch me burn it down
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
I went down for the coldest one
      Am                                   C/G
And I know I'll win 'cause I played before,  yeah
        Em
I don't know with whatever you say, I don't know if we need it your way
             Am                            C/G
You wouldn't take my place, put me away, I die lookin' up at your face
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
       Em         Bm                             Am
How do I ever know, who can I trust, feelings of emptiness
C
Only love could kill me, God bless
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Em                 Bm                     Am
   The knife in my heart couldn't slow me down
                                       (Couldn't slow me down)
                             C                           D
'Cause power is power,                the fire never goes out
                     ('Cause power is power)
Em                Bm                      Am
   I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
                                         (Nothing hurts me now)
                       N.C.
'Cause power is power,            now watch me burn it down
                 ('Cause power is power)
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
   Breathe, feel the air that I breathe (yeah)
Em
   Air that I, air that I breathe
 
Em
(Ooh) Who's hotter, been a monster with a crown
     D
Soul-swapper, high water, keep your head up, you might drown
       C
Hit as well, it's way colder, by the day, we count it down
      Bm
Been around, just been waitin' up, she gon' come around
 
         Em
I took a drag, bust it out the gate, smile lil baby, slay
         D
I wore a flag, put that on my face, ain't nobody safe
         C
Lift the mask, they gon' have to see what they can't erase
         Bm
I took a life, so I took it back (do-do-do-do-do)
 
 
[Bridge]
 C     D               Em
(Yeah) Danger's on my mind
         C                              D
Ain't no knife, dagger, bullet that can do it
          Em                              D
'Fore you even know, oh yeah, that she'll do it, yeah
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em    Bm      Am
Heavy is the crown
N.C.
But never for a queen (oh yeah)
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Em                 Bm                         Am
   The knife in my heart, it couldn't slow me down
                                             (Couldn't slow me down)
                             C                           D
'Cause power is power,                the fire never goes out
                     ('Cause power is power)
Em                Bm                      Am
   I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
                                         (Nothing hurts me now)
                       N.C.
'Cause power is power,            now watch me burn it down
                 ('Cause power is power)
Em
   (Ooh yeah) Yeah, now watch me burn it down
