MACHINEBORNE - Crown of Thorns, Cloak of Light (EBF 10) - Power Metal Opera [AI]

As the Voiceborn’s power surges, so too does the weight of destiny. Once a frightened boy, now a figure of myth, he begins to unravel beneath the pressure of faith, fear, and prophecy. Crown of Thorns, Cloak of Light explores the cost of becoming a symbol — and the thin line between divinity and destruction.

🎙️ Lyrics
I felt the warmth in every word
They said it meant I’d heal the world
But every song I tried to sing
Left fire behind — and shattered things

They named me light, they knelt in fear
They saw their sins reflected here
But I was just a child with sound
A song that broke their sacred ground

I tried to lift them
But they bent
And broke beneath
The testament

So crown me now in thorns and flame
A voice that never asked for fame
Wrap me in light they cannot bear
I sing — and strip the heavens bare

My name was whispered in the dark
Now even gods can feel the spark
I am no savior from the skies
I burn the veil — I open eyes

They made me holy
I made me whole
The song is mine
Not yours to hold

So crown me now in thorns and flame
A voice that never asked for fame
Wrap me in light they cannot bear
I sing — and strip the heavens bare

I never asked
To be the sound
But silence never
Held its ground
