[Verse 1]
Dust on the banners
Names carved into stone
Cracked red carpet
Leading up to the bones
Of a broken chair
Tilted on its side
I was small in that shadow
Now it fits my stride
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear them call my name
In every shattered pane
All the crowns they tore apart
Are cutting through my heart
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the throne room
Screaming my story
Every faded echo feeding my fury
You left me buried in the rubble of your war
Now I’m the storm you begged the sky to ignore
Ghosts in the throne room
Teaching me how
To wear my scars like iron
Watch me take my vow
You made this monster when you left me there to burn
I’m coming for the kingdom
It’s my turn
[Verse 2]
Footprints in ashes
Lined up with my own
Every marble pillar
A memory of home
Saw you fall in pieces
Heard you swear my name
While the cousins lit the torches
And handed you the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the metal air
Like a promise
Like a dare
Every whisper in these walls
Says rise or let them win it all
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the throne room
Screaming my story
Every faded echo feeding my fury
You left me buried in the rubble of your war
Now I’m the storm you begged the sky to ignore
Ghosts in the throne room
Teaching me how
To wear my scars like iron
Watch me take my vow
You made this monster when you left me there to burn
I’m coming for the kingdom
It’s my turn
[Bridge]
You wanted a quiet heir
You’ll get a sharpened glare (hey)
I learned power in the dark
From the ones you tore apart
Every secret that you kept
Every night they wept
Now their voices fill my lungs
Hear revenge on every tongue
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the throne room
Screaming my story
Every faded echo feeding my fury
You left me buried in the rubble of your war
Now I’m the storm you begged the sky to ignore
Ghosts in the throne room
Crown me in flame
I’ll carve my justice into every gate and name
You made this villain when you taught my heart to burn
I’m coming for the kingdom
Now it’s my turn
