Ashes of a God

[Intro]
[Layered choir]
Chains dragging in the dark
Echoes in his heart 
Ghost of Sparta marked 
By the sins he can’t depart
[Verse 1]
Born in the dust where the war drums roar
Spartan blood in his veins, raised to endure
Blades in his hands, oath in his chest
Swore to the gods just to conquer death
They called, and the rage took hold
Turned a mortal man to a weapon of old
Village in flames, eyes burning red
Didn’t see his own blood lying there dead
Ash on his skin, cursed in white
Every breath he takes echoes that night
“Monster,” they whisper, “the Ghost walks near”
Fueled by grief, chained to fear
[Pre-Chorus]
He tried to run, but the past won’t fade
Every god he served, every debt unpaid
From Olympus heights to the underworld’s flame
He carved his vengeance into their name
[Chorus]
Bow to the fury, the breaker of thrones
Kratos rising from blood and bones
Gods fall down when he calls their end
War don’t stop—it just begins again
Ashes to ashes, the past still burns
Every lesson paid in the pain he earns
From Sparta’s son to the god they dread
He wears the crown of the fallen dead
[Verse 2]
Climbed Mount Olympus with hate in his lungs
Zeus on the throne where betrayal was spun
Thunder cracked but it wasn’t enough
Kratos stood when the storm got rough
Gaia fell and the Titans broke
Every alliance turned into smoke
Blades of Chaos singing through war
Every swing settling ancient scores
Zeus struck down, the cycle complete
But vengeance tastes hollow, bitter, and weak
The world lay broken beneath his hand
No peace for a cursed man
[Pre-Chorus]
Power don’t heal what the heart can’t mend
Even gods fall when they chase the end
He looked at the ruin, the cost, the flame
And saw there was no one left to blame
[Chorus]
Bow to the fury, the breaker of thrones
Kratos rising from blood and bones
Gods fall down when he calls their end
War don’t stop—it just begins again
Ashes to ashes, the past still burns
Every lesson paid in the pain he earns
From Sparta’s son to the god they dread
He wears the crown of the fallen dead
[Verse 3]
North winds howl in a foreign land
A quieter war in a father’s hands
Leviathan cold, no chaos inside
But the storm still lives where the old ghosts hide
Atreus walks with a question in his eyes
“What is a god? Truth or lies?”
Kratos breathes through the weight of his past
Trying to build something meant to last
([Heavy voice] “Do not be me,”)
A warning carved from the pain he knows
From killing for gods to breaking the chain
He fights not for rage—but to end the pain
[Bridge]
No more service, no more labored slavery
No more signing his own death warrant.
From ashes he rose, through fire reborn
A man remade from a god once torn
[Final Chorus]
Bow to the man who defied his fate
Turned all his fury into something great
Gods may fall, but the story bends
Even the monster can make amends
Ashes to ashes, but not the same
He walks through fire, no longer chained
From Ghost of Sparta to something more
He’s not their weapon anymore
