TITLE: “CROWN OF ASHES”
⸻
(Atmospheric intro – wind, distant war drums, low cello drones, faint female choir humming)
(Whisper – layered male + female)
They wrote my ending…
Before I began…
(Single piano note… echoing…)
⸻
VERSE 1 (Soft but intense, cinematic storytelling)
In the silence of the fallen
Where the broken kingdoms lie
I stood alone in shadows
With fire behind my eyes
They called it fate, they called it fear
Said I would disappear
But pressure forged a blade of steel
And carved my name in here
(Low brass swell)
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (Strings rising, heartbeat percussion)
Every scar a reminder
Every wound a vow
You tried to end my story
But I’m rewriting now
⸻
CHORUS (Huge cinematic choir + powerful lead vocal)
From the ashes I rise
Through the smoke and the flame
Every doubt that you gave me
Only sharpened my name
You can bury a warrior
But you can’t kill the fight
When the darkness surrounds me
I become the light
(Choir echoing: The light… The light…)
⸻
DROP 1 (Cinematic dominant – minimal trap)
(Huge brass stabs, taiko drums, choir chants, deep sub impacts)
(Chant – crowd style)
Rise.
Rise.
Rise.
(Heavy hybrid percussion enters with subtle distorted 808 pulses)
⸻
VERSE 2 (Stronger, more confident)
You built your throne on whispers
On rumors and decay
But empires made of weakness
Always fade away
I’ve walked through storms unshaken
Through doubt that split the sky
You thought I’d drown in silence
I was learning how to fly
⸻
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Even bigger build – choir belts, strings intense)
Every fall just feeds the fire
Every loss made me higher
You can’t cage what was born untamed
You can’t silence desire
(Risers + drums building tension)
⸻
CHORUS (Full cinematic explosion)
From the ashes I rise
Through the smoke and the flame
Every doubt that you gave me
Only sharpened my name
You can bury a warrior
But you can’t kill the fight
When the darkness surrounds me
I become the light
⸻
FINAL DROP (Hybrid Cinematic x Festival Trap Fusion)
(Massive orchestra + aggressive percussion + distorted cinematic 808s)
(Hard hitting brass + choir + impact hits)
(Short vocal hook shouted)
I. SURVIVE.
(Beat switch – festival trap drums layered under orchestra)
(Chant rhythmically)
Crown of ashes.
Crown of ashes.
(Big trailer hits + cinematic finish)
⸻
OUTRO (Soft piano + choir fading)
(Whisper)
They wrote my ending…
I wrote my legend.
EXXILE
