Iron Crown of Night

[Intro] Under a darkened sky, the iron bells toll slow Blood-wet banners whisper of crowns bitten by woe The palace hums with secrets, a throne built on ash Footsteps tracing prophecies in a midnight flash [Verse 1] In the throne room, torches gutter, faces carved in stone A queen on velvet shadow, ruling hearts with iron bone Courtiers bend like reeds, their whispers coil and cling The loom of doom is weaving garments blue with sting [Pre-Chorus] Oath-bound and mournful, the bells repeat a vow We stand on shattered heralds, we swear to break the prow [Chorus] Blood on the altar, blood on the crown Dark night surrounding, terror moving down We raise steel to the tyrant, a chorus in the gloom The city sighs in chains, awaiting dawn’s tomb [Verse 2] Footsteps echo down marble halls, a chorus of despair Silken swords gleam red in a moon-wrought glare Rumors drip like venom from the balcony’s edge We count the fallen favors of this gilded ledge [Bridge] Temple bells tremble, steel sings of revolt The monstrous aura gathers, a shadow takes hold In the murmured oath, a whisper cuts the dark Resistance is a blade that carves through the mark [Verse 3] The map is stained with silver blood, cities turn to ash Citizens and kings alike feel the bite of the lash As tyrants tighten rings with a ceremonial glow A vow remains: to stand, to strike, to overthrow [Pre-Chorus] Oath-bound and mournful, the drums confess the plight We march through iron rain toward a guarded dawn of light [Chorus] Blood on the altar, blood on the crown Dark night surrounding, terror moving down We raise steel to the tyrant, a chorus in the gloom The city sighs in chains, awaiting dawn’s tomb [Outro] In the final echo, the tyrant’s shadows fall The throne grows cold, but whispers rally all The solemn night consumes the last trumpet’s breath And vows endure, beyond the iron kiss of death
