Crown of Thorns

[Intro]
Silent echoes in a courtyard, shadows whisper tales of pain
A crown of thorns, a purple robe, a man stood in disdain

[Verse 1]
Stripped of his dignity, surrounded by jeering cries
Battered by the world’s cold hand, beneath indifferent skies
They mock the king of the Jews, a throne in mockery's guise
But his eyes hold a story none can realize

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see through the wounds, beyond the bitterness?
A soul bleeding quiet, seeking only forgiveness

[Chorus]
Hail, king of tears, crowned in silent sorrow
Worn by the world’s disdain, hopeful for a better tomorrow
He bears the cross, the pain, for love’s divine call
In his suffering, he stands tall

[Verse 2]
Pilate’s voice echoes, innocence in his gaze
A clash of justice and fear, lost in the maze
The crowd’s deafening roar, demands to end his days
But still he holds the light, igniting hope in the haze

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see through the wounds, beyond the bitterness?
A soul bleeding quiet, seeking only forgiveness

[Chorus]
Hail, king of tears, crowned in silent sorrow
Worn by the world’s disdain, hopeful for a better tomorrow
He bears the cross, the pain, for love’s divine call
In his suffering, he stands tall

[Bridge]
Rise from the darkness, see the love that endures
Amidst the suffering, a love that’s pure
His story, a beacon in the night
Unbreakable, shining bright

[Outro]
Silent echoes in a courtyard, shadows whisper tales of pain
But in that silent suffering, love forever remains

Gospel-inspired, somber acoustic with soulful vocals and gentle percussion
