[Intro]
They measured my worth by the dust on my boots
Counted me out before I could choose
[Verse 1]
You laughed when I spoke of a seat at the head
Kept your hands on the crown by my bed
Every door had a lock, every oath had a price
So I learned how to sharpen the edge of advice
You called me a failure, a mouth without proof
I carried your verdict beneath my roof
But the floorboards remember the weight of my feet
And the pulse in the walls kept time with defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
No witness, no blessing, no hand raised high
I built my throne where the rejected lie
[Chorus]
No one believed in me—now look where I stand
Iron in my voice, a kingdom in my hands
You buried my name, but the grave split wide
I came back crowned with the storm inside
No one believed in me—hear the banners rise
I am the answer burning in your eyes
[Verse 2]
I drank every insult like bitter black wine
Turned each locked gate into a battle line
The ones who dismissed me now lower their gaze
As the hall fills with smoke and the altar blaze
I have no need for the mercy you sold
My spine is a tower, my blood is cold
From the lowest rung to the highest stone
I made every scar a mark of my throne
[Pre-Chorus]
No witness, no blessing, no hand raised high
I built my throne where the rejected lie
[Chorus]
No one believed in me—now look where I stand
Iron in my voice, a kingdom in my hands
You buried my name, but the grave split wide
I came back crowned with the storm inside
No one believed in me—hear the banners rise
I am the answer burning in your eyes
[Bridge]
[Deep Vocal]
Kneel if you remember the words that you said
Kneel to the living, not the dead
[High Scream]
YOU SAW A RUIN—NOW FACE THE KING!
[Breakdown]
I was the warning you ignored
I was the blade behind the door
Every doubt became a stone
Every stone became my throne
[Final Chorus]
No one believed in me—now look where I stand
Iron in my voice, a kingdom in my hands
You buried my name, but the grave split wide
I came back crowned with the storm inside
No one believed in me—let the whole world know
I rule the heights you refused to show
No one believed in me, but I believed enough
Now the crown is mine—and the crown is blood
[Outro]
The hall goes silent beneath my command
I was denied; now I own the land
