[Intro – haunting pads, whispered]
Every shadow has a flame behind it...
And I’m burning alive.
[Verse 1 – screamed, intense]
Walls collapse, but I still stand
Ashes slip right through my hands
Every promise was a fucking lie
Now I scream your name into the night
Chains you forged still scar my skin
But I won’t let you drag me in
I’ll tear your halo from the sky
Watch your kingdom fucking die
[Pre-Chorus – clean, emotional]
You tried to keep me bound
But I’m not breaking down
[Chorus – soaring clean vocals + backing screams]
Shadows cast in fire, pain I can’t ignore
Every scar reminds me what I’m fighting for
You took my light and left me to drown
But I’ll rise again, you can’t hold me down
Shadows cast in fire, burning my soul
I’ll take back the crown you stole
[Verse 2 – screamed, heavier]
I bled enough to drown the sea
Your lies still echo inside of me
But I won’t kneel, I won’t repent
This rage is holy, heaven-sent
Through the smoke, I see the end
A broken throne I’ll never mend
Your false empire turns to ash
I’ll watch it crumble, watch it crash
[Breakdown – guttural screams, chugs]
(FUCK YOUR CROWN!)
Your fire dies, but mine remains
(THIS IS WAR!)
I’ll write my vengeance in your veins
[Final Chorus – clean/screamed fusion, epic]
Shadows cast in fire, pain I can’t ignore
Every scar reminds me what I’m fighting for
You took my light and left me to drown
But I’ll rise again, you can’t hold me down
Shadows cast in fire, burning my soul
I’ll take back the crown you stole
[Outro – whispered over fading guitars]
Your throne is gone…
And so are you.
