【Verse 1】 Crawling through the wasteland of the man I used to be Where broken oaths and memories still gnaw and cling to me But in the hollow silence where the light refused to stay I felt a crown of darkness slowly carving me its way 【Pre-Chorus】 If I was born from shadows, then the night is mine to claim I’ll wield the fear they gave me and ignite it into flame 【Chorus】 I’m the shadowborne king Rising from the black Every wound became a throne Carved into my back I’m the shadowborne king Strike me and I’ll rise I was never meant for heaven I was born from night 【Verse 2】 The voices once that shattered me now bow beneath my stride Their chains that tried to break me turned to armor at my side In the depths where I was drowning, I found power in the fall A monarch forged in ruin standing higher than them all 【Pre-Chorus 2】 If darkness is the kingdom built from all I had to face Then let them see me standing where the fallen find their place 【Chorus】 I’m the shadowborne king Rising from the black Every wound became a throne Carved into my back I’m the shadowborne king Strike me and I’ll rise I was never meant for heaven I was born from night 【Bridge】 Let the night remember Every scar I bear Let the void surrender To the strength I wear In the dark I’m blazing In the pain I grow If they fear my shadow Then I’ll let it show 【Final Chorus】 I’m the shadowborne king Standing in the flame All the storms behind me Cannot shake my name I’m the shadowborne king Rising past the dawn I was born in darkness But I’ll reign in light
