[Verse]
Footsteps heavy on a midnight street
Echoes drag like chains of defeat
A trail of red where my heart should be
[Chorus]
I wear the shadow crown
A king of ruins in a broken town
Blood on my hands
I can’t lay it down
[Verse 2]
Cards on the table
Aces and knives
I deal in whispers
I bury lives
Regrets pile higher than the moon can rise
[Prechorus]
No stars to guide
No prayers to keep
Just promises buried six feet deep
[Chorus]
I wear the shadow crown
A king of ruins in a broken town
Blood on my hands
I can’t lay it down
[Bridge]
Every choice a coffin
Every step a grave
I rule the dark
But I’m still a slave
To the lies
To the screams
To the night I crave
