🎤 Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Born to rule, a prince of might,
The lion’s son, forged in the fight.
A crown of gold, a heart of flame,
With sword in hand, he carved his name.

From Normandy’s fields to England’s throne,
A warrior king with battles known.
The Holy Land called, and he took the vow,
A Lionheart with no room to bow.

Pre-Chorus:
Through storms of steel and desert sand,
He marched to free the sacred land.

Chorus:
Heart of the Lion, King of the West,
Leading the charge with fire in his chest.
From Acre’s walls to the mountain’s crest,
The Lionheart fights, never to rest.
A banner of red and golden light,
Richard rides on through the darkest night.

Verse 2:
Saladin’s walls stood proud and tall,
But Richard’s courage would not fall.
With a sword of steel and a lion’s roar,
He broke through gates and opened the door.

Captured castles, crossed the sea,
A hero of Christendom’s legacy.
But kings can bleed, and kings can fall,
In chains he found the cost of all.

Pre-Chorus:
Held by his foes, betrayed by fate,
Yet his legend grew from every gate.

Chorus:
Heart of the Lion, King of the West,
Leading the charge with fire in his chest.
From Acre’s walls to the mountain’s crest,
The Lionheart fights, never to rest.
A banner of red and golden light,
Richard rides on through the darkest night.

Bridge:
England waits, his crown alone,
A kingdom restless, a vacant throne.
But still they sing the lion’s song,
Of a king who knew where he belonged.

With a heart unbowed and battle-worn,
A lion sleeps where heroes are born.
The sun sets on a warrior’s pride,
But legends never die, they ride!

Chorus:
Heart of the Lion, King of the West,
Leading the charge with fire in his chest.
From Acre’s walls to the mountain’s crest,
The Lionheart fights, never to rest.
A banner of red and golden light,
Richard rides on through the darkest night.

Outro:
The Lionheart will rise,
Through the echoes of the cries,
Of battles long gone by,
His spirit never dies.
