Lyrics:
I was born at the bottom of a dried-up well
Where the shadows are long and the preachers sell
I carried the rocks and I carried the dirt
I made a cathedral out of the hurt
They threw me the anchor expected me to drown
But I learned how to breathe in the underground

The blood on my hands turned to iron and rust
I'm shaking the devil right out of the dust

I'm taking the heavy crown
I'm lifting it off the ground
They wanted to bury me deep in the clay
But I'm walking right out of the grave today
Yeah the mountain is steep and the weather is cold
But my spirit is forged out of highway gold
I'm taking the heavy crown

I look at the scars like a map on my skin
Every cut is a battle I managed to win
There ain't no salvation in staying behind
You gotta leave all the cowards and vultures blind
I sharpened my teeth on the stones that they threw
Now I'm painting the black sky a beautiful blue

The blood on my hands turned to iron and rust
I'm shaking the devil right out of the dust

I'M TAKING THE HEAVY CROWN
I'M LIFTING IT OFF THE GROUND
THEY WANTED TO BURY ME DEEP IN THE CLAY
BUT I'M WALKING RIGHT OUT OF THE GRAVE TODAY
YEAH THE MOUNTAIN IS STEEP AND THE WEATHER IS COLD
BUT MY SPIRIT IS FORGED OUT OF HIGHWAY GOLD
I'm taking the heavy crown

Yeah watch me rise
Out of the clay
