Rise of the Hollow Crown

Lyrics by Maroé 2026 Is this the world they promised me? A glittering cage dressed up as freedom I’ve played the part, I’ve worn the chain But every throne stands on someone’s pain Comply… Consume… Obey… [Verse 1] They set the rules before I even breathed Called my worth before I dreamed Paper gods and iron laws Temples built on our scars [Pre-Chorus] But something stirs beneath the stone A fire they can’t own No crown, no creed— I won’t play their game [Chorus] We rise from the ashes of the hollow crown Tore down the towers that held us down No chains, no masters, no borrowed light— This fire in our hands burns through the night Will you kneel again? Never again! For every soul they tried to break For every dream they tried to take We are the wound they could not hide— The fire they buried still alive! Rise… Rise… Rise… We rise! We rise! We rise! From every cracked street and silent scream! We rise! We rise! We rise! No hollow crown will touch the sky! [Chorus] We rise from the ashes of the hollow crown Tore down the towers that held us down No chains, no masters, no borrowed light— This fire in our hands burns through the night [Outro] Is this the world they promised me… No. This is the world we’ll make it be.
