Throne of Ashes

Intro
(Low guitars, distant echo)
No hands to hold… no voices left…
Just the sound of my own breath.

Verse 1
Born in the shadows, raised by the cold,
Empty rooms and a heart growing old,
No friends to lean on, no safe place to fall,
Just cracked mirrors and prison walls.
Every loss cut deeper than bone,
Every road walked alone, alone,
Exiled from comfort, from mercy, from grace,
Learning survival in a hostile place.

Pre-Chorus
They never saw the war in my head,
The nights I begged just to make it to red,
But pain taught me how to stand,
When no one else would lend a hand.

Chorus
Life threw me to the wolves to die,
But I came back with fire in my eyes,
Now I lead the pack through blood and flame,
Relentless drive, bold ambition, no shame.
I was forged in loss, baptized in pain,
Seized the throne where I once was chained,
I didn’t break—I took control,
This crown was earned by a broken soul.

Verse 2
I buried dreams in unmarked graves,
Learned real strength is what you save,
When hope is thin and faith runs dry,
And every prayer feels denied.
I fought demons no one could see,
Silent wars inside of me,
Monsters born from fear and doubt,
I dragged them screaming, I tore them out.

Pre-Chorus
They never knew the cost I paid,
The parts of me I had to slay,
To stand upright, to claim my name,
To turn my scars into a blade.

Chorus
Life threw me to the wolves to die,
But I came back with fire in my eyes,
Now I lead the pack through blood and flame,
Relentless drive, bold ambition, no shame.
I was forged in loss, baptized in pain,
Seized the throne where I once was chained,
I didn’t break—I took control,
This crown was earned by a broken soul.

Bridge (Breakdown with a powerful drumbeat)
Alone—when the world turned away,
Alone—when exile was all I knew,
I crawled through hell on shattered knees,
And still I rose—still I refused.
Every scar carved purpose in my skin,
Every fall taught me how to win,
I burned, I bled, I lost it all…
So I built a kingdom from the fall.

Verse 3 (soft with violins and piano, the bold and powerful)
No savior came, no hand reached out,
I stood up fueled by hunger and doubt,
The fire that tried to end my name,
Is the same damn fire that feeds my flame.
Now the past bows at my feet,
Ghosts retreat when I heartbeat,
I’m not surviving—I’m here to reign,
The storm, the crown, the pain remains.

Final Chorus (Bigger, Slower)
Life threw me to the wolves to die,
But I returned leading the fight,
From isolation, loss, and exile deep,
I turned my suffering into belief.
Forged in tribulation, born to ascend,
Like a phoenix rising again and again,
I conquered demons, I shattered fate,
Now the world ahead will feel my weight.

Outro
(Soft, then crushing)
I had no one…
So I became everything.
Is sit on my throne, a victorious king.
And my name will ring throughout history.
