Broken Crown

[Verse]
Cloak heavy, heart darker than the abyss,
Once a king, now a shadow, lost in the mist.
Feet walkin’ roads paved with shattered gold,
Truth turned to ash, a story untold.
Dreams burned slow, ember in my chest,
Glory traded for sins, I made the jest.
Whispers in the hall, they call my name,
A hero no more, just a pawn in the game.
[Prechorus]
The sword I raised, now weighs my soul,
The crown I wore, a heavy toll.
[Chorus]
Broken crown, it cuts me deep,
Once I soared, now I creep.
A hero’s fall, a villain’s rise,
Blood-stained hands, truth in disguise.
[Verse 2]
Reflections shatter, mirror won’t lie,
See the devil in my eyes, wings that won’t fly.
I built my throne on the bones of the weak,
Their cries echo, every night they speak.
A kingdom of regret, I’m drowning in flames,
Prayers unanswered, just calling my name.
The choir sang, but the notes fell flat,
No redemption, can’t take it back.
