Fall of the Sun-God

[Verse 1] I once lit the heavens, bold and high A fire no storm could crucify But silence came, and shadows grew And something young and strange broke through [Verse 2] The stars no longer speak my name My crown is dust, my throne is flame A younger god with brighter eyes Stole all the thunder from my skies [Pre-Chorus] Was I not fire? Was I not light? What god survives the endless night? [Chorus] I was the dawn, I burned the sky Now I watch from where the old gods die But something stirs, a deeper flame Not born of pride, not forged in fame From ruin’s ash, the truth begins Even fallen stars have fire within [Verse 3] They rise with grace, but not with grief They build where I became the reef But still I see — beyond defeat Creation grows where endings meet [Pre-Chorus] So let me break, so I can see What lies beyond divinity [Chorus] I was the dawn, I burned the sky Now I watch from where the old gods die But something stirs, a deeper flame Not born of pride, not forged in fame From ruin’s ash, the truth begins Even fallen stars have fire within [Bridge – spoken/sung over ambient build] Hyperion, dethroned, not dead I carry stars inside my head No crown, no voice, but still I shine A ghost of glory, half divine [Final Chorus – soaring, full orchestral rise] I was the dawn, I burned the sky Now I rise in a different light Let them forget my ancient name I’ll forge a soul from all my shame From broken myths and silence grim Even fallen stars have fire within [Verse 3] They rise with grace, but not with grief They build where I became the reef But still I see — beyond defeat Creation grows where endings meet [Pre-Chorus] So let me break, so I can see What lies beyond divinity [Chorus] I was the dawn, I burned the sky Now I watch from where the old gods die But something stirs, a deeper flame Not born of pride, not forged in fame From ruin’s ash, the truth begins Even fallen stars have fire within [Bridge – spoken/sung over ambient build] Hyperion, dethroned, not dead I carry stars inside my head No crown, no voice, but still I shine A ghost of glory, half divine [Final Chorus – soaring, full orchestral rise] I was the dawn, I burned the sky Now I rise in a different light Let them forget my ancient name I’ll forge a soul from all my shame From broken myths and silence grim Even fallen stars have fire within
