(Intro — slow guitar buildup)
They said the broken never heal…
But they never saw what pain can build.
(Verse 1)
I wore silence like a loaded gun
Counting shadows one by one
Every night another war
Every lock another door
Friends turned into fading names
Love went up in bitter flames
I kept smiling through the rot
Pretending I was something I was not
(Pre-Chorus)
But pressure makes diamonds from dust
And monsters from those who lose trust
(Chorus)
Welcome to my kingdom of scars
Built from collapse and fallen stars
Every wound became a throne
Every night I stood alone
I turned my suffering into steel
Now the darkness knows I’m real
You tried to bury who we are
Now we rise…
A kingdom of scars
(Verse 2)
Cigarette smoke and ambulance lights
Trying to outrun endless nights
The mirror showed a fractured face
A man too tired to pray for grace
But I found strength inside the pain
Like thunder running through my veins
Every failure carved my skin
But never reached the soul within
(Pre-Chorus)
I stopped begging to be saved
And learned the broken still can rage
(Chorus)
Welcome to my kingdom of scars
Built from collapse and fallen stars
Every wound became a throne
Every night I stood alone
I turned my suffering into steel
Now the darkness knows I’m real
You tried to bury who we are
Now we rise…
A kingdom of scars
(Breakdown)
NO GODS
NO CHAINS
JUST FIRE IN OUR VEINS
WE ARE THE LOST
THE LEFT BEHIND
THE ONES WHO LEARNED
TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT
(Bridge — melodic)
And maybe healing isn’t clean
Maybe survival leaves a mark
But every scar reminds me now
I made it through the dark
(Final Chorus)
This is my kingdom of scars
No more hiding who we are
Every broken piece aligned
Into something undefined
I turned my suffering into gold
A story only pain could tell
And if I fall a thousand times
I’ll rise a thousand more from hell
(Outro)
Long live the broken…
Long live the scars…
Long live us.
