Fall of the Silent Crown

[Verse 1] The banners hang in a hall of stone, Silent watchers where the light has gone. The crown still gleams, but the head is dust, All empires crumble — and so they must. [Pre-Chorus] A whisper becomes a scream, A shadow becomes a flame. The throne is empty now, But the people remain. [Chorus] Fall of the silent crown… Shattered glass across the ground. Fall of the silent crown… The echoes are the only sound. [Verse 2] The marble breaks, the torches die, The walls collapse against the sky. No tyrant lives, no chains remain, But freedom walks with haunted pain. [Chorus] Fall of the silent crown… Shattered glass across the ground. Fall of the silent crown… The echoes are the only sound. [Bridge – Spoken, Defiant yet mournful] All thrones are graves in waiting. All crowns are only weight in disguise. But the silence breaks… And the dawn arrives. (Instrumental break — heavy riffing guitar and symphonic synths clashing like battle, drums thunderous, chaotic, then breaking apart into fragments.) [Final Chorus – Climactic, Layered Vocals] Fall of the silent crown… The fire cannot be bound. Fall of the silent crown… The ashes feed the ground. [Outro – Collapse into silence] And the crown… Is dust.
