Litany of the Broken Crown

Verse 1

They carved my name in borrowed stone

Called it mercy, called it throne

Golden halls, a hollow vow

I wore your rule — I wear it down

Pre-Chorus (ruhig, bedrohlich)

No throne can hold my name

No crown can bind my fate

What ends this reign tonight

Is me

Chorus (Chor-Explosion)

This is the litany of the broken crown

Hear the silence scream aloud

Every lie that held me down

Cracks beneath my vow

I don’t kneel, I don’t repent

I rise where kings were bent

This is the litany of the broken crown

Verse 2

I watched your power rot in light

While I learned to rule the night

Every scar became a law

Every loss — the throne I saw

Bridge (sakral, Chor)

No crown eternal

No reign divine

I am the end

Of borrowed time

Final Chorus

This is the litany of the broken crown

From the dust — I take my ground

What you lost, I never found

I was never meant to bow
