Ahead of making their return to the UK this evening (Tuesday, September 24th), Linkin Park has shared a new single. ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ is the second track to be lifted from their upcoming album, ‘From Zero’.
The track will also serve as the 2024 League of Legends World Championship Anthem.
Carried with a sense of familiarity, partly due to Mike Shinoda’s rapid vocals and Brad Delson’s razor-sharp guitars, ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ serves as a tight-knit reminder of Linkin Park‘s distinctive sound. While new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, provides a punchy and raspy delivery.
‘From Zero’ will be released on November 15th via Warner Records.
‘Heavy Is The Crown’ Lyrics:
It’s pouring in
You’re laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can’t win if your white flag’s out when the war begins
Aiming so high but swinging so low
Trying to catch fire but feeling so cold
Hold it inside and hope it won’t show
I’m saying it’s not but inside I know
Today’s gonna be the day you notice
Cause I’m tired of explaining what the joke is
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
Turn to run
Now look what it’s become
Outnumbered ten to one
Back then should’ve bit your tongue
‘Cause there’s no turning back this path once it’s begun
You’re already on that list
Say you don’t want what you can’t resist
Waving that sword when the pen won’t miss
Watch it all falling apart like this
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
Today’s gonna be the day you notice
Cause I’m tired of explaining what the joke is
THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
