  • [Verse 1: The Weeknd]
    I was born of the ice and snow
    With the winter wolves, in the dark, alone
    The wildest night, I became the one
    And you'll know you're mine when the silence calls

    [Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]
    Heavy is the crown only for the weak

    [Chorus: The Weeknd]
    A knife in my heart couldn't slow me down
    'Cause power is power, the fire never goes out
    I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
    'Cause power is power
    Now watch me burn it down

    [Verse 2: SZA]
    I went down for the coldest one
    And I know I'll win 'cause I played before, yeah
    I don't know with whatever you say
    I don't know if we need it your way
    You wouldn't take my place
    Put me away, I die lookin' up at your face
    How do I ever know? Who can I trust?
    Feelings of emptiness
    Only love could kill me, God bless

    [Chorus: The Weeknd, The Weeknd & SZA]
    A knife in my heart
    Couldn't slow me down (Couldn't slow me down)
    'Cause power is power ('Cause power is power)
    The fire never goes out
    I rise from my scars
    Nothing hurts me now (Nothing hurts me now)
    'Cause power is power ('Cause power is power)
    Now watch me burn it down

    [Verse 3: Travis Scott]
    Breathe, feel the air that I breathe (Yeah)
    Air that I, air that I breathe (Ooh)
    Who's hotter? Been a monster with a crown (Ooh)
    Soul-swapper, high water, keep your head up, you might drown (Ooh)
    Hit as well, it's way colder, by the day, we count it down
    Been around, just been waitin' up, she gon' come around
    I took a drag, bust it out the gate, smile lil baby, slay
    I wore a flag, put that on my face, ain't nobody safe
    Lift the mask, they gon' have to see what they can't erase
    I took a life, so I took it back (Do-do-do-do-do, yeah)
    Danger's on my mind (Ah)
    Ain't no knife, dagger, bullet that can do it
    'Fore you even know, oh, yeah, she'll do it, yeah, yeah (Ah)

    [Pre-Chorus: SZA]
    Heavy is the crown, but never for a queen (Oh yeah)

    [Chorus: SZA & The Weeknd, The Weeknd, & Travis Scott]
    A knife in my heart
    It couldn't slow me down (Couldn't slow me down)
    'Cause power is power ('Cause power is power)
    The fire never goes out (Oh)
    I rise from my scars (Yeah)
    Nothing hurts me now (Nothing hurts me now)
    'Cause power is power ('Cause power is power)
    Now watch me burn it down (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
    Now watch me burn it down
