DMNtooor - Crown of Ashes

Whispers in the dark…
Shadows carve their mark…
I am standing at the edge of silence.

The chains of yesterday,
Still burning where they lay,
A kingdom lost to fire and defiance.

Hear the thunder, hear it call my name,
Through the ruins, nothing stays the same.
Broken statues staring from the flame,
All the ghosts remember.

But I will not kneel, I will not break,
Through the storm, a vow I’ll take…

I wear a crown of ashes,
Yet I rise above the night.
From sorrow’s shattered passage,
I will set the sky alight.
No prison made of darkness
Can bind my final breath
For in the heart of chaos
I defy the hand of death!

Silent echoes weave,
Tales I still believe…
Even in despair, the song is breathing.

Every scar, a flame,
Calling out my name…
Every wound a star that won’t stop bleeding.

Fall into the void…
Taste the bitter choice…
One step closer to the endless grave…

But I hear a sound
Steel against the ground…
The hymn of warriors unafraid!

I wear a crown of ashes,
Yet I rise above the night.
From sorrow’s shattered passage,
I will set the sky alight.
No prison made of darkness
Can bind my final breath
For in the heart of chaos
I defy the hand of death!

So let the storm consume the skies,
I’ll tear the veil, I will arise!
The final dawn begins to burn,
The wheel of fate at last shall turn…

From the ashes…
I… return.
