[Verse]
Born in the shadow
Frail and weak
A hollow whisper
No voice to speak
Hands that trembled
A heart that bled
A broken man
Hanging by a thread
[Verse 2]
Forged in fire
Strength I claimed
Blood-soaked fists
The weak renamed
I crushed the chains
Tore the sky
Yet every victory
A bitter lie
[Chorus]
Steel and sinew
But empty inside
The strongest man
Yet love denied
I saved the world
But lost my soul
A throne of ash
No hand to hold
[Verse 3]
Their screams still haunt
I couldn't save
The ones I loved now fill the grave
Power gained
But a price to pay
The weight of loss
It will not sway
[Bridge]
Echoes of laughter
Now turned to dust
All I've built crumbles to rust
Strength is nothing
It cannot mend
A shattered heart
A bitter end
[Chorus]
Steel and sinew
But empty inside
The strongest man
Yet love denied
I saved the world
But lost my soul
A throne of ash
No hand to hold
