Crown of Ashes

Verse 1

Shadows crawl across the wall

Like prophets carved in stone

Every whisper in the dark

Says the throne was never yours

The crown you wear is made of bones

From promises betrayed

Every step inside this war

Was a choice you never made

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Hear the thunder in the distance

Feel the ground beneath you break

Every lie you built your kingdom on

Is starting now to shake

⸻

Chorus

Raise your crown of ashes high

Let the broken heavens sing

Every ghost you tried to bury

Now returns to claim the king

Stand and face the fire tonight

Let the truth cut deep within

When the world you built collapses

Will you rise… or fall again?

⸻

Verse 2

Crimson stains the silver blade

That once defended you

Every ally fades to black

When the truth is finally through

The banners burn in silent wind

The towers start to fall

Every echo in the halls

Is the ending of it all

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Hear the thunder in the distance

Feel the ground beneath you break

Every lie you built your kingdom on

Is starting now to shake

⸻

Chorus

Raise your crown of ashes high

Let the broken heavens sing

Every ghost you tried to bury

Now returns to claim the king

Stand and face the fire tonight

Let the truth cut deep within

When the world you built collapses

Will you rise… or fall again?

⸻

Bridge (half-time, darker)

No more gods above the throne

No more mercy left to give

Every crown will turn to dust

Every king must answer it

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals)

Raise your crown of ashes high

Let the broken heavens sing

All the ghosts you tried to bury

Now return to claim the king

Stand and face the fire tonight

Let the truth cut deep within

When the world you built collapses

You will rise…

Or fall again.
