[Verse 1] In the hush, where whispers bloom Silver lies fill a quiet room Truth gets traded, time runs thin They set the snare — then pull you in [Pre-Chorus] I see the throne behind their eyes A rule concealed in fine disguise [Chorus] Shadows of the crown They watch, they strike, they climb Turning blood to fortune In a world that mimes the time You can hide, you can kneel But the dark still speaks your name Shadows of the crown You never leave the game [Verse 2] Circuits hum beneath the seat Empires echo in deceit Threads of power, tightly wound Who wears the blade — who makes it crown’d? [Pre-Chorus] They draft the war before it’s cast With silent kings and hearts of glass [Chorus] Shadows of the crown They steal, they scheme, they reign Wrapped in holy ashes From the fire they ordain You can burn, you can feel But you'll never be the same Shadows of the crown There's venom in the name [Bridge] And when the masks are melting And every oath has turned Will you rise or fade forgotten When the truth is never earned? [Final Chorus] Shadows of the crown No mercy in their gaze Every pawn, every vow Lost within the maze You can bleed, you can drown Still they’ll toast you as the brave Shadows of the crown It’s loyalty they crave [Outro – Whispered / Instrumental Fade] Shadows... of the crown...
