Crown of Crows

[Verse 1] The road was carved with broken bones And names the wind erased I learned more from the darkest nights Than I ever learned from praise Every bridge I burned behind me Lit another mile ahead Funny how the hardest lessons Never leave your head They threw stones to stop my footsteps Built their walls around my name But every scar became another spark Inside the growing flame --- [Pre-Chorus] The sky grows black The silence knows Some crowns are forged By murder of crows --- [Chorus] **I wear a crown of crows** **Watch the black wings fill the sky** Every mile Every failure Taught me how to fly **I wear a crown of crows** No fear left to borrow I built forever Out of broken tomorrows --- [Verse 2] I've seen castles turn to ruins Watched the mighty lose their way Every empire has a heartbeat Every heartbeat fades someday So I don't chase forever I don't kneel before the gold I'd rather leave a story That refuses to grow old Every voice that tried to bury me Only fed another wing Now the shadows fly beside me Like they know I'm one of them --- [Pre-Chorus] When the thunder calls They rise Black wings cutting through the sky --- [Chorus] **I wear a crown of crows** **Watch the black wings fill the sky** Every mile Every failure Taught me how to fly **I wear a crown of crows** No fear left to borrow I built forever Out of broken tomorrows --- [Bridge] I never feared the darkness I learned to read its signs Every ending left a doorway Every mountain left to climb If tomorrow never crowns me That was never why I came I came to leave an echo Long after they forget my name --- [Guitar Solo] --- ### [Final Chorus] **I wear a crown of crows** Watch the black wings fill the sky Every mile Every failure Taught me how to fly **I wear a crown of crows** No fear left to borrow I built forever Out of broken tomorrows Black wings carry every promise Past the places fear won't go If they ask me where I found my strength Tell them only the crows know --- [Outro] Let the crows remember. The sky always knows our names.
