[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Silent halls where echoes fade, Ash and stone where children played. A shattered throne, a broken past, The weight of fate is mine at last. Blood still stains the marble floor, The ghosts remain forevermore. Their voices call, yet none remain, Only sorrow speaks my name. [Verse 2] The banners torn, the embers die, I walk alone beneath the sky. The crown lies cold upon the ground, A hollow prize, a world unbound. No victor’s song, no fanfare calls, Only the wind through empty halls. The throne I fought to save stands bare, A kingdom lost in fractured air. [Pre-Chorus] Was this the price to set us free? A kingdom drowned in misery? I fought for light, I fought for peace, Yet all I see is dust and grief. [Chorus] Through fire and war, I claimed the fight, But victory stole away the light. No guiding hand, no whispered name, Just ghosts that curse me in the rain. The dawn will rise, the scars remain, But who am I beneath this pain? A ruler born from ash and strife, A king of ruin, bound for life. [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] Their weary eyes, their hollow cries, They look to me with hope denied. But I’m no savior, no divine, Just one who fought and left behind. The weight of crowns, the cost of war, The shattered dreams upon the floor. The choices made, the lives now lost, A kingdom saved at endless cost. [Verse 4] Yet through the dust, the seeds remain, A whisper calls beyond the pain. The world may break, but still it grows, And from the dark, a new hope glows. Though hands are scarred, though hearts still weep, The earth shall wake from poisoned sleep. And from these ruins, stone by stone, We’ll build a world to call our own. [Pre-Chorus] Was this the price to set us free? A kingdom drowned in misery? I fought for light, I fought for peace, Yet all I see is dust and grief. [Chorus] Through fire and war, I claimed the fight, But victory stole away the light. No guiding hand, no whispered name, Just ghosts that curse me in the rain. The dawn will rise, the scars remain, But who am I beneath this pain? A ruler born from ash and strife, A king of ruin, bound for life. [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Was this the price to set us free? A kingdom drowned in misery? I fought for light, I fought for peace, Yet all I see is dust and grief. [Chorus] Through fire and war, I claimed the fight, But victory stole away the light. No guiding hand, no whispered name, Just ghosts that curse me in the rain. The dawn will rise, the scars remain, But who am I beneath this pain? A ruler born from ash and strife, A king of ruin, bound for life. [Chorus] Through fire and war, I claimed the fight, But dawn will rise to heal the night. No guiding hand, no whispered name, But from the ruins, hope remains. The scars may last, the past may call, But from the dust, we’ll stand tall. A new world forged from ash and strife, Not bound by ruin—but by life. [End]
