Crown me in silence
Let the blood remember my name
I carved my path with trembling hands
Built an empire out of sinking sand
Every promise etched in bone
Every victory tasted like stone
They bowed their heads, I felt no grace
Only shadows stitched to my face
I climbed so high, I couldn’t see
The cost of what this crown would be
I sit upon a throne of thorns
A king condemned by his own crown
Every vow I swore in fire
Now drags my empire underground
I rule the ruins I was given
A crown of pain, a heart half-gone
This kingdom bleeds beneath my weight
I reign alone on a throne of thorns
Gold turned rust in my veins
Cheers dissolved into screams of blame
I fed the lie, I wore the role
Till power hollowed out my soul
No hand to hold, no god to blame
Just echoes chanting my name
I traded truth for control
Now the debt comes to collect my soul
I sit upon a throne of thorns
A king condemned by his own crown
Every vow I swore in fire
Now drags my empire underground
I rule the ruins I was given
A crown of pain, a heart half-gone
This kingdom bleeds beneath my weight
I reign alone on a throne of thorns
Crown of steel
Spine of lies
Built this hell
With my own hands
No savior
No release
Only power
Feeding on me
If this is strength, let it scar me
If this is faith, let it break
I’d rather bleed in honest flames
Than kneel to the lie I became
I AM THE WOUND
I AM THE KING
I sit upon a throne of thorns
Where every step cuts deeper still
I wear the weight of broken oaths
A crown no victory could fill
Let history carve my ending
In blood, not borrowed praise
I chose this crown of suffering
And I will rot inside its reign
No roses grow where I stand
Only thorns…
Only me
