HAVELLORN – Paper Crown (Official Audio)

“Paper Crown” is the sixth track from HAVELLORN’s album Wood, Wire & Fire. A sharp, driving hard rock song about ego, appearances and the fragile power we build when everything depends on keeping up an image. “Paper Crown” follows someone who always needs to own the room, control the story and hide every crack — but the higher that illusion rises, the harder it becomes to keep standing. You can fool the crowd and wear the crown proudly, but anything built on hollow ground eventually comes down. 🎵 LYRICS You walk in like you own the room Everybody knows the part Every word is polished gold Every smile a work of art You keep score on every weakness Turn each silence into ground But the higher you keep climbing The more it shakes when you look down You can hold your head up high But you can’t outrun the sound Paper crown Coming down All that weight can’t hold you now Paper crown Coming down Built it high on hollow ground You can fool the room You can wear it proud But sooner or later That paper crown comes down You never miss a chance to win Never let a crack appear Every truth gets rearranged Every doubt becomes a fear You can turn the blame on anyone You can dress it up somehow But the rain is getting closer And it’s falling on you now You can hold your head up high But you can’t outrun the sound Paper crown Coming down All that weight can’t hold you now Paper crown Coming down Built it high on hollow ground You can fool the room You can wear it proud But sooner or later That paper crown comes down When the mirrors stop agreeing When the room won’t play along When there’s nobody left watching Who will tell you you’re still strong? You can keep the throne beside you You can keep the story loud But who are you when there’s no one Left to hold that paper crown? Paper crown Coming down All that weight can’t hold you now Paper crown Coming down Built it high on hollow ground You can fool the room You can wear it proud But sooner or later That paper crown comes down Paper crown Coming down Coming down 🔥 From the album Wood, Wire & Fire Subscribe for official music, lyric videos, visualizers and more.
