Lyrics

(Verse 1)

The sun bleeds out on a rusted sky,
the heavens are torn like burned-out remains.
Silence now reigns over ruins and dust,
only the wind whispers my name.

(Chorus)

I am the Duke of Ashes,
the King of all Ruins,
the Emperor of Doom,
the Tsar of endless voids.
My kingdom is boundless, of cinders and sorrow,
my word echoes deep in the hollow towers.
Yet my people are laughing,
see how they rejoice—
what else should skulls even do?

(Verse 2)

The streets are of bone, the halls made of rust,
my court draped in shadows, my scepter in dust.
The bells forged from steel toll silent for me,
time bowed before eternity.

(Chorus – extended variation)

I am the Duke of Ashes,
the King of all Ruins,
the Emperor of Doom,
the Tsar of endless voids.
My name burned in embers, my throne lost in storms,
no life, no light, just echoes in stone.
Yet my people are laughing,
watch how they waltz,
the wind spins their dance into dust.

(Bridge – dark and grand)

No morning, no whisper, no doubt, no light,
just endless shadows and things lost in time.
I laugh, I dance on walls made of sorrow,
for what falls apart speaks no tomorrow.

(Final Chorus – epic, closing crescendo)

I am the Duke of Ashes,
the King of all Ruins,
the Emperor of Doom,
the Tsar of endless voids.
My people still sing, though no voices remain,
for even the dead still honor my name.

(Slow fade, wind howls, silence…)
