Throne of Glass
by Sarah J. Maas
The album's loud peak — paired in design with track 7's quiet ballad. Live kit, taiko hits, frame drum, overdriven and stinging-lead electric guitars, deep low brass on the climax. The bridge's *You said the fire was a curse* is the song's pivot — the queen who was told her power was a curse and made it the throne instead.

Lyrics
Queen of Wildfire
[Verse 1] my name was once an alias, an alias was once a name they sold me as the assassin of the year I learned to walk in tournament, I learned the kiss the same I learned the queen they buried lived in here [Pre-Chorus] (building, taiko) the seal taken on a thumb-cut, the contract sworn to flame the elite assassin's bargain bit the inside of the wrist the mate-mark drawn beneath the bone, a black spiral and a name the wildfire taught me how to burn the list [Chorus] queen of wildfire the assassin and the crown queen of wildfire the mate-mark on the gown queen of wildfire the ironteeth go down the fae who taught me burning will burn the borrowed town [Verse 2] the prince who taught me language was the prince who taught me lies the captain kept his oath until the end the witch with iron teeth refused to take me by surprise the king who bought the assassin would amend [Pre-Chorus] (thicker, taiko + frame drum) the seal taken on a thumb-cut, the contract sworn to flame the elite assassin's bargain bit the inside of the wrist the mate-mark drawn beneath the bone, a black spiral and a name the wildfire taught me how to burn the list [Chorus] queen of wildfire the assassin and the crown queen of wildfire the mate-mark on the gown queen of wildfire the ironteeth go down the fae who taught me burning will burn the borrowed town [Bridge] (stripped, ethereal vocalise overhead) You said the fire was a curse and not a thing the queen could keep you said the assassin's name would not survive the throne the mate-mark answered when the king of fire could not sleep the queen of wildfire walked alone [Final Chorus] (full chassis at peak — taiko + frame drum + brass at climax) queen of wildfire the assassin and the crown queen of wildfire the mate-mark on the gown queen of wildfire the ironteeth go down — the fae — and the fae — and the fae who taught me will burn the borrowed town [Outro] (taiko + brass tail) queen of wildfire (the assassin and the crown) queen of wildfire (the mate-mark on the gown)
