Lyrics

[Verse]
Jailed in the shadow, no bars, just despair,
Cradled in silence, ghosts in the air.
Fed on scraps of legacy, roots turned dust,
While the gilded halls gleamed, dripping with lust.

[Verse 2]
You strolled through the gold, like kings in a dream,
World owed you its breath, or so it would seem.
Rehearsed grace, a mask, a dance in the smoke,
My hunger your feast, my struggle your joke.

[Chorus]
Echoes of the chains, they rattle in my chest,
While you bask in the glow of a world so blessed.
But I rise from the ash, I’m the flame you won’t snuff,
From shadow to throne, I’m more than enough.

[Verse 3]
Roots shriveled, yet the seed still remains,
Silent screams etched deep in my veins.
You drank from the rivers, I crawled through the mud,
But the soil births kings, my crown in the blood.

[Bridge]
I wore the night as my cloak, stitched in pain,
Learned to dance in the dark, to thrive in the rain.
Your golden halls crumble, your mirrors will crack,
The shadow ascends, and there’s no turning back.

[Chorus]
Echoes of the chains, they rattle in my chest,
While you bask in the glow of a world so blessed.
But I rise from the ash, I’m the flame you won’t snuff,
From shadow to throne, I’m more than enough.
