Half-Blood Crown

[Verse 1]
Ink on the margin
Spells in a stranger’s hand
Top of the class, but
I don’t understand
Perfect potions
Whispers in every hall
If this is greatness
Why do I feel so small?
[Chorus]
I wear a half-blood crown
Built on secrets dragging me down
Every answer cuts like a blade
Glory in a graveyard shade
If I’m the chosen one
Why am I breaking?
Pages burn, and shadows take me
I wear a half-blood crown
And it’s tearing, tearing me out
[Verse 2]
Old man fading
Shaking when he lifts his wand
Rust on the legend
Cracks in the talisman bond
He says, “Trust me”
But his eyes are storms
Leading me deeper
Into a world deformed
[Chorus]
I wear a half-blood crown
Built on secrets dragging me down
Every answer cuts like a blade
Glory in a graveyard shade
If I’m the chosen one
Why am I breaking?
Pages burn, and shadows take me
I wear a half-blood crown
And it’s tearing, tearing me out
[Bridge]
Green light in the tower
Heart drops, stone-cold
Snakes carve their power
Right into my soul
I scream for courage
But silence replies
All that I love
Falls from the sky (falls from the sky)
[Chorus]
I wear a half-blood crown
Built on secrets dragging me down
Every answer cuts like a blade
Glory in a graveyard shade
If I’m the chosen one
Why am I breaking?
Pages burn, and shadows take me
I wear a half-blood crown
But I’ll rise, rise from the doubt
Yeah, I’ll rise
With this half-blood crown

Cinematic metalcore with male vocals; ominous strings and choir collide with downtuned guitars, syncopated double-kick, and cinematic impacts. Verses stay tense with palm-muted riffs and distant piano; chorus erupts with soaring leads, stacked gang vocals, and thunderous toms. Bridge drops to eerie orchestral underscore, re-building into a final breakdown with choir stabs and screamed harmonies., metalcore
