Ashes of Two Thrones

Through the ashes, through the pain I can feel the world will change In the dark, I know your name Shadow walking through my flame Ah-ah... ah-ah... Verse 1 They built their kingdoms out of graves Dressed their hunger up as fate Valor forged a world of blades Song kept death outside the gate They took my blood, they took my home Left me fire, left me scars But I did not crawl from ruin Just to kneel beneath their stars Pre-Chorus I see the armies on the plain I hear the dead call out again But in the dark, beside my light A silent shadow joins the fight Chorus Let the thrones fall down tonight Let the shadow meet the light Let Song awaken every grave Let Valor rain a storm of blades I have burned too long to run You have walked where there was no sun If they made this world from pain We will tear it down again Shadow and flame... Rise again... Post-Chorus Shadow beside my flame No more chains, no more names Side by side through blood and rain We will never kneel again Verse 2 I see the Queen in crimson silence Beautiful and cold as death I see the sword-bound towers burning Hear their kingdom lose its breath All my life they called me weapon All my life they feared my will Now the spark they could not bury Is the fire they cannot kill Pre-Chorus 2 You never needed crowns to rise Just shattered fate and empty skies And when my soul begins to break Your darkness holds the path I take Chorus Let the thrones fall down tonight Let the shadow meet the light Let Song awaken every grave Let Valor rain a storm of blades I have burned too long to run You have walked where there was no sun If they made this world from pain We will tear it down again Rise again... Rise again... Bridge I was so tired of burning alone So tired of turning my heart into stone I carried the dead, I carried their cries Till I saw the truth in your lightless eyes You do not need to promise me dawn Just stand at my side when the old world is gone And if this flame consumes all I am Be the shadow that remembers my name Build The sky is breaking, the banners fall They thought we were theirs, they never knew us at all From every ruin, from every scar A fire is rising, a shadowed star No more chains... No more thrones... Final Chorus: Let the thrones fall down tonight Let the shadow meet the light Let Song awaken every grave Let Valor rain a storm of blades I was wounded, not destroyed I was silent, not devoid And with your darkness next to mine I will make the whole world shine No crown, no chain, no fate above Can stop the war that we become They made us weapons, made us bleed Now shadow gives the flame its wings Shadow beside my flame Rise again! No more chains, no more names End their reign! Side by side through ash and pain We will never kneel again Shadow beside my flame Tonight the world will know our names Through the ashes, through the pain Shadow beside my flame Not alone, not again Rise again...
