Bloodied Crown

[Verse I] The halls are cold, the stories sold, the glory's growing old, A golden throne, a heart of stone, a son who lost control. The candles sway, the shadows pray, but heaven turned away, A blade of frost, a soul long lost, and mercy starts to decay. I hear your voice through shattered noise, through memories destroyed, The boy you raised beneath your gaze became the void employed. No warning bells, no farewells, just silence where love dwells, The kingdom sleeps while darkness creeps and drags me down to hell. [Pre-Chorus] Father, can you see me now? Beneath this curse, beneath this vow? The weight, the hate, the fate somehow Has forged a king from a bloodied crown. [Chorus] I wore the crown, I burned it down, I drowned the sound of your final words. The blade came through, I followed through, And every truth became absurd. Your blood ran red across the floor, My soul went dead forevermore. A king, a son, a loaded gun— Tell me what all this power's for. Bloodied crown, don't let me drown, The echoes howl, the angels frown. I won the throne, but died alone, A broken king in a bloodied crown. [Verse II] The marble cracked, no turning back, the moment fate attacked, A fatal stroke, a kingdom broke, beneath the weight it cracked. Your eyes met mine, that last design, a pain I can't define, No battle cry, just one goodbye, still buried in my mind. I chased the light into the night, believing wrong was right, I paid the cost, became the frost, surrendered to the blight. The crown was gained, the soul was chained, the world became stained, The more I reign, the more the pain remains and remains. [Pre-Chorus] Father, can you hear me still? Beyond the snow, beyond the chill? I bent my heart, I broke my will, And drank the dark I couldn't kill. [Chorus] I wore the crown, I burned it down, I drowned the sound of your final words. The blade came through, I followed through, And every truth became absurd. Your blood ran red across the floor, My soul went dead forevermore. A king, a son, a loaded gun— Tell me what all this power's for. Bloodied crown, don't let me drown, The echoes howl, the angels frown. I won the throne, but died alone, A broken king in a bloodied crown.
