Crown of ashes (Remix)

[Instrumental Intro] [Atmospheric Build, No Vocals] [Steady Beat Establishes] They'll tell you when you've lost To put the sword away. But they never saw How many times you fell Before you learned to stay. [Verse 1] I remember every doorway I was never meant to cross, Every name above the scoreboard, Every lesson dressed as loss. I have tasted the silence After everything goes wrong, Stood alone beneath the lights While somebody else moved on. But there's something in the failure That the victory never gave— You learn who you are When there's nothing left To save. [Pre-Chorus] So let the night come down, Let the whole world count me out. I've been here before. I know what losing sounds like. [Chorus] **ONE MORE GAME!** One more chance to change the ending, One more step into the flame. If I fall, I'll learn the distance, If I break, I'll know my name. **ONE MORE GAME!** I don't need the world to crown me. I don't need them to believe. Every scar became a lesson, Every loss became a key. **If there's still a breath inside me— I'M NOT DONE. ONE MORE GAME.** [Verse 2] There were nights I called it over, There were days I lost my way. Watched the best become forgotten, Watched the fearless hesitate. But the ones who leave a mark Aren't the ones who never fall. They're the ones who hear the silence And still answer when it calls. Maybe greatness isn't winning. Maybe it's refusing To let one moment Decide your worth. [Pre-Chorus] So let the whole world doubt, Let the pressure pull me down. I've been here before. And I know what losing sounds like. [Chorus] **ONE MORE GAME!** One more chance to change the ending, One more step into the flame. If I fall, I'll learn the distance, If I break, I'll know my name. **ONE MORE GAME!** I don't need the world to crown me. I don't need them to believe. Every scar became a lesson, Every loss became a key. **If there's still a breath inside me— I'M NOT DONE. ONE MORE GAME.** [Bridge] Maybe someday They'll ask who won. Maybe no one Will remember. Maybe the banners disappear, Maybe the names fade from the walls. But I'll remember. I was there. When I had every reason To walk away— **I stayed.** [Build — whispered → shouted] And that's the part They can't take from me. Not the score. Not the crown. **THE CHOICE.** [FINAL CHORUS] **ONE MORE GAME!** Let the whole sky hear me coming, Let the ground remember my name. I have walked through every failure, I have earned another day. **ONE MORE GAME!** Now I know what I was missing— It was never luck or fate. I was building something stronger Every time I walked away... **AND CAME BACK.** **ONE MORE GAME!** For the nights that almost broke me, For the dreams I couldn't see. For the version of myself That refused to let me leave. **ONE MORE GAME!** If tomorrow brings another battle, I'll be waiting at the gate. Because champions aren't born At the moment that they win **THEY'RE BUILT EVERY TIME THEY CHOOSE TO PLAY AGAIN.** [Final Hook — choir + crowd vocal] **ONE MORE GAME!** **ONE MORE GAME!** **ONE MORE GAME!** **I'm not done.** [Outro] *Queue again.*
