Lyrics

She was unforgivable
Tears had carved the guilt on her stony face
Her defence was all but spent
And the blood on her hands won’t wash away
There’s a great divide between the truth
And the justice meted out by man
No exoneration for her pain
Moral structures crumble into sand

But the light of hope remains in the embers of her heart
And the better days will come if we learn to fight the dark
Let the glow consume, let it radiate
She’s a supernova on Judgment Day

I was unforgivable, just like her
But the source of my shame was a matter of time
I’ll be counting down the days
Till I know for sure that she stopped my crime
I guess that I should say, “Thanks for saving me
From the days that never were!”
Look beneath her crystalline countenance
Start to understand the pain that drives her

These golden halls were once a cage
But her righteous heart can’t be chained to the ground
With glowing hands she broke the bars
Fused the light and steel and forged herself a crown

Heavy is the heart that made the crown

She heard her calling and she knew what she must do
She took the throne and ascended to the clouds
Her first decree: “No one else will suffer like me!”
Reshape a society that tried to keep her down

Heavy is the heart that made the crown
But it doesn’t weigh her down

‘Cause the light of hope remains in the embers of her heart
And the better days will come if we learn to fight the dark
Let the glow consume, let it radiate
She’s a supernova on Coronation Day
Supernova… she’s a supernova
