[spoken words announcement]
crowd cheering loud
“Alright Castle Ruins — let you voices rise again from deep inside! This is ‘Crown of Shadows!’”

[intro]

[Verse 1]
They scroll through the noise till the night turns thin,
Lost in the glow of a world caving in.
Raised on a whisper, taught not to feel,
Trading their freedom for something that’s “real”.
And every echo says, “Follow the throne,”
’Cause thinking is heavy when you’re all alone.

[Chorus]
Why do we reach for a crown of shadows,
Begging for someone to tell us how to breathe?
Is it the fear, or the hollow in our chests,
Or the stories we swallow till we can’t believe?
Why do we kneel when the ground is shaking?
Why do we trust what we know is breaking?
Crown of shadows,
Why do we let it lead?

[instrumental (hammond organ)]

[Verse 2]
Some were never shown how to stand on their own,
Some were taught silence like it’s carved into stone.
Some drown in the noise of a thousand screens,
Where truth is a rumor and lies come clean.
And every promise says, “Give me your doubt,”
It’s easy to follow when the lights go out.

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s comfort,
maybe it’s pain,
maybe we’re tired of carrying the blame.
Maybe the world spins faster each day,
and we’re searching for someone
to take it away.

[instrumental (guitar)]

[Verse 3]
But every kingdom built on fear
will crumble when the dawn draws near.
And every voice that learned to hide
will rise again, will rise again,
from deep inside.

[Final Chorus]
Why do we reach for a crown of shadows,
Begging for someone to tell us how to breathe?
Is it the fear, or the hollow in our chests,
Or the stories we swallow till we can’t believe?
Why do we kneel when the ground is shaking?
Why do we trust what we know is breaking?
Crown of shadows,
Tonight we let you leave.

[Outro]
Crown of shadows,
fade into the dawn.
Crown of shadows,
your spell is gone.

[spoken words announcement]
[crowd cheering loud]
"‘Crown of Shadows!’ Thank you all at Castle Ruins”
[crowd cheering rising]
[End]
