"The song is a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy: We're so excited for players and fans to experience this," he said.

Miria Egan, the global head of music at Riot Games, agreed. Egan added that it's an honor to partner with Linkin Park. The Heavy Is The Crown lyrics, in particular, perfectly capture the narrative of LoL Worlds 2024.

Linkin Park Heavy Is The Crown lyrics

It's pourin'g' in, it laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends, you can't win
Get your white flags out when the war begins
Aimin' so high but swingin' so low
Tryna catch fire, but feelin' so cold
Hold it inside and hope they won't show
Sayin' it's not, but inside I know

Today is gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is

Today is gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Turned to run, now look what it's become
Outnumbered tеn to one
Back then, should've bit your tonguе
There's no turnin' 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
Watchin' it all fallin' apart like this

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Today is gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' 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 rainin' down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
