[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You never see me on the field
You never hear my voice
You only feel your sister's steel
You never had a choice
A flutter at the council board
My rogues upon your throne
And every blade you sharpened me
Will find your kindred bone
[Pre-Chorus]
I move when no one's watching me
The pause between your breaths
The blade you raised on my behalf
Will find your own bequests
[Chorus]
I do not need to lift a sword
To take a kingdom whole
Every blade you raised for me
Will turn upon your own
Your kings will burn what they would save
Your knights will name your foe
I rule the courts I never enter
By the wars I make you grow
[Verse 2]
The king believed his queen had lied
The queen believed the same
The court would burn before they tried
To speak my crooked name
Their bishops blessed the broken oath
Their dukes drew steel for show
I watched them fight inside their walls
While the wicked wine ran low
[Pre-Chorus]
I move when no one's watching me
The pause between the war
The friend you trusted at your side
Is the one you'll fall before
[Chorus]
I do not need to lift a sword
To take a kingdom whole
Every blade you raised for me
Will turn upon your own
Your kings will burn what they would save
Your knights will name your foe
I rule the courts I never enter
By the wars I make you grow
[Bridge]
I am the smile beneath the smile
The pause inside the storm
I do not bring an army through the door
I let yours come and burn
A queen does not need conquering
When kings will conquer for her
I rule the wicked court of Eldraine
By the wars I never stir
[Final Chorus]
I do not need to lift a sword
The crown will come to me
Every blade you raised in faith
Becomes my treasury
Your kings will name their fairest knight
Your knights will name their queen
And the cunning conquest of the briar
Is the kingdom they will leave
[Outro]
You came in laughing
You'll leave in flame
And the war you fought
You fought in my name
