[Verse 1 (soft, airy)]
I carried a shield on my back
Heavy from everything I lacked
Scars like patterns on my skin
Every fall taught me how to begin
⸻
[Pre-Chorus (lift + tension)]
I let the metal fade
(fa—fade, fade)
My wounds said, “You’re remade.”
(re—re—made)
⸻
[Chorus (main hook)]
I rise
to a throne of embers
(thro—thro—throne of embers)
Born
from the fire inside
No shield
(just pow—power in me)
I burned
through the battles and now I
feel free
⸻
[Post-Chorus / DROP Hook (designed for chops)]
Thro—thro—THRONE OF EMBERS
(embers—embers—em—em—embers)
Let the dark princess—
(re—re—re—REIGN)
Feel free—free—FREE
(free—free—free)
⸻
[Verse 2 (clean, rhythmic)]
Ghosts tried carving out my name
But I won’t bow to who I was again
My voice turning into a blade
Every fear that I killed, I made
⸻
[Pre-Chorus (filtered + chopped)]
I let the shine fall away
(a—a—away)
My heart whispered, “You can stay.”
(st—st—stay)
⸻
[Chorus (big lift again)]
I rise
to a throne of embers
(thro—thro—throne of embers)
A princess
reborn from the flames I survived
No shield
(just pow—power in me)
I burned
through the battlefield and now I
feel free
⸻
[Final Drop / Post-Chorus (super chop-heavy)]
Thro—THRONE OF EMBERS
(embers—embers—embers)
Feel—fee—feel free
(free—free—free—FREE)
Dark princess
(da—da—dark)
REIGN
(re—re—re—REIGN)
