Lyrics
[Intro]
Bells in the dark
One slow toll
Boy, listen close
[Verse 1]
I found you half a storm
In your scuffed-up shoes
Back pew, cold hands
Trying not to lose
Your mom had gone quiet
Your luck ran thin
I said, “Stay near me”
I’ll show you how to win
I taught you how to stand
With your chin up high
How to eat the fear
And never blink an eye
Now the papers call your name
Like you own the room
But I see the old you
Hiding in the fumes
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold on your fingers
Smoke in your chest
Every door swings open
But you look unrested
Tell me, son
What you keeping for?
You got the whole world
Knocking at your door
[Chorus]
Crown of ashes
Hold it tight
Crown of ashes
Burning bright
You won it all
But lost your name
Don’t wear that crown
If it eats your flame
Crown of ashes
Hear me now
Crown of ashes
Take it down
If the throne leaves scars
And love grows cold
Come back to the kid
I used to hold
[Verse 2]
You came home rich
With a diamond grin
New watch, new scars
Same old sin
The crowd loves your roar
They cheer your fall
They’ll clap for a king
Then forget it all
I’ve seen men chase
That venom and shine
Wake up in a castle
Feeling left behind
I’m not mad you climbed
I’m proud you tried
But every ladder’s a blade
If you turn it inside
You were never built
For the empty glare
You need a real home
Not a throne of air
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold on your fingers
Smoke in your chest
Every door swings open
But you look unrested
Tell me, son
What you keeping for?
You got the whole world
Knocking at your door
[Chorus]
Crown of ashes
Hold it tight
Crown of ashes
Burning bright
You won it all
But lost your name
Don’t wear that crown
If it eats your flame
Crown of ashes
Hear me now
Crown of ashes
Take it down
If the throne leaves scars
And love grows cold
Come back to the kid
I used to hold
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
I buried my pride in the choir smoke
Watched good men crack under perfect jokes
If the sky goes black and the money talks
Will you still know God when the sirens stop?
Take my ring
Take my old hard shell
You don’t need a kingdom
If you can’t sleep well
[Final Chorus]
Crown of ashes
Hold it tight
Crown of ashes
Burning bright
You won it all
But lost your name
Don’t wear that crown
If it eats your flame
Crown of ashes
Hear me now
Crown of ashes
Take it down
When the bells ring soft
And the night runs cold
Come back to the kid
I used to hold
[Outro]
Bells in the dark
One last toll
Son, come home
Before you turn to gold

Father-to-teen vocal feel with close-mic lead, rough doubles on key lines, short delay throws on the hook, and a final lift with choir pads, bell tolls, and a cracked, arena-sized mix., rap, rock
