[Verse 1]
Silver morning
falls across the battlefield
Broken banners
drowning in the rain
Old gods whisper
through the frozen mountains
Calling my name
again and again
Black rivers carry
the ghosts of fallen empires
Ashes rising
through a blood-red sky
I walked alone
through shattered towers
With smoke-filled lungs
and hollow eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Carry me
through dying light
Where silent stars
and shadows collide
[Chorus]
Ashen crown
upon my head
Cold winds singing
for the dead
Heaven collapsed
beneath the storm
Still I rise
through ash and ruin
Ashen crown
beneath the night
Ghosts still dancing
through fading firelight
[Verse 2]
Dark horses thunder
through forgotten valleys
Moonlight trembling
across their steel
Ancient choirs
echo through the forest
Like sleeping gods
beginning to breathe
And all my sorrow
turned into oceans
All my grief
became the sea
I gave my soul
to endless winter
Now the frost
belongs to me
[Bridge]
(soft orchestral section)
Far beyond
the black horizon
A mourning bell
still calls my soul
[screamed]
I HAVE WALKED
THROUGH FALLEN KINGDOMS
I HAVE STOOD
BENEATH DYING SUNS
[Final Chorus]
Ashen crown
inside the fire
Broken angel
dark messiah
Every shadow
speaks my name
Still the stars
remain unchanged
Ashen crown
through endless night
Carry me
beyond the light
