THRONE OF THORNS

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
