Thrones and ashes

Verse 1 (low strings, piano underneath)

From the fire and the frost we came,

Bound by blood, by crown, by flame.

Every kingdom falls, every banner fades,

Only shadows linger where the power’s laid.

⸻

Chorus (Soaring, choir + strings)

Ohhh… thrones in the ashes,

Kings and queens turned to stone.

Ohhh… time always passes,

But the crown dies alone.

⸻

Verse 2 (cello lead, steady drum pulse)

Blades were drawn for love and pride,

Brothers lost and sisters cried.

In the silence now, the echoes stay,

Songs of glory turned to grey.

⸻

Chorus (Bigger, layered voices)

Ohhh… thrones in the ashes,

Crowns are heavy, hearts undone.

Ohhh… silence that clashes,

With the battles we’ve won.

⸻

Bridge (Soft, almost acapella with harp or piano)

And the night remembers,

Every name, every vow.

The throne stands empty,

But the past won’t bow.

⸻

Final Chorus (Choir + orchestra swell, then fade)

Ohhh… thrones in the ashes,

Dreams of fire, dreams of stone.

Ohhh… history crashes,

But the song carries on…

(Music fades with a single cello note, leaving silence.)
