Queen of Ashes Verse 1 [Haunting, Intimate] Stone walls. Golden skies. No light behind your eyes. Silk where the salt once lay, A queen who slipped away. I watched from far below, The only truth I know. The fire that once burned free… Is dying silently. Pre-Chorus Every feast… another lie. Every toast… another night. I watched your spirit fade away. Chorus You’re the Queen of Ashes, Ruling over dust. Trading all your freedom For a kingdom built on rust. Every golden promise Fell like winter rain. You wore a crown of iron… And buried love in chains. Verse 2 [More Emotional] His cup was never dry. New faces every night. You wore a royal smile… That never reached your eyes. I knew before you did, The cost of what you chose. No throne could ever fill The place love used to hold. Pre-Chorus No gold… no crown… Could silence what we found. Your heart was calling home. Bridge [Quiet, Piano & Cello] Across the crowded hall… You looked at me. Not as your warrior… Not as a peasant… Just… The man… Who never stopped loving you. [emotional burst- growl] YOUR BROKEN’nnn [Breakdown] Gold grows cold. Crowns grow heavy. Broken hearts… Last forever. Final Chorus [Bigger, Desperate] You’re the Queen of Ashes, Still burning in my soul. Every dream we fought for Is farther than we’ll go. If I could steal tomorrow, I’d carry you away. Before the crown… Before the pain… Before your heart turns to Ash
