Throne Of Ash

I kept the rules
They broke my name
I fed the light
You kept the flame

Truth tastes like rust
I choke it down
If pain's a crown
Then where's my throne?

Build me a throne of ash
From every promise burned
I'll sit with all I've lost
And everything unlearned
If grace won't call my name
Then carve it into stone—
I wasn't made to kneel
I learned to bleed alone

I stitched my heart
With borrowed lies
You drank my dawn
I lived your nights

The clock won't heal
It only feeds
A thousand faults
And none were mine to keep

Build me a throne of ash
From vows you threw away
I'll wear your silence hard
Like armor made of clay
If heaven bars the door
Then let the furnace glow
I wasn't born to beg
I rose from what you stole

TAKE WHAT YOU GAVE ME
TURN IT TO DUST
PRAY FOR A SAVIOR
I'LL BE ENOUGH

I held my breath
Until it screamed
Called it hope
It called me weak
If fate is rigged
Then cut the string
I'll stand in ruin
And still I'll sing

Build me a throne of ash
Let all the angels pass
If love won't learn my face
I'll make a home in glass
When all that's left is smoke
And bones that learned to last
I won't go begging fate
I'll be the final blast

No mercy for me and still I rise
