CROWN OF NOTHING

[Intro –whispered with ambient tension-]
Bury me deep…
But I won’t stay gone.
I’m not the end—
I’m what comes after.

⸻

[Verse 1 –guttural & rhythmic-]

Dig the hole, throw the dirt,
Say the prayers, but they won’t work.
You forged your throne from fear and lies—
But now I breathe where your empire dies.

Ashes speak louder than words ever could,
You turned your back—now I’m back for blood.
No halo. No savior. No light to see—
Just the monster you built inside of me.

⸻

[Chorus –screamed with gang vocals / clean layer underneath-]

I am the flame! I am the fall!
I am the shadow that outlives it all!
You can run, you can hide,
But I wear the crown you tried to deny.
I wear the crown! (I wear the crown…)
I wear the crown! (I wear the crown…)
Of nothing…
And everything you fear now!

⸻

[Verse 2 –fast, violent delivery-]

Steel in my bones, fire in my breath,
You made me crawl—now I dance with death.
You thought I’d break, thought I’d fade away—
But I carved your name in my soul that day.

I don’t forget. I don’t forgive.
I don’t sleep. I don’t forgive.
Every scar a scripture, every breath a war—
I’m not human anymore.

⸻

[Pre-Breakdown –building whisper to shout-]

You made your mark…
Now bleed for it.

⸻

[Breakdown –chaotic, earth-shaking-]

BITE THE EARTH! FEEL THE CURSE!
This is vengeance, and it only gets worse!
BITE THE EARTH! FEEL THE CURSE!
I was nothing—now I’m the universe!

[Drums drop — silence — then scream-]

I. WEAR. THE. CROWN!

⸻

[Chorus – extended / layered with orchestration-]

I am the flame! I am the fall!
I am the reckoning come to call!
You can run, you can pray,
But the gods you love just turn away.
I wear the crown! (I wear the crown…)
I wear the crown! (I wear the crown…)
Of nothing…
And I’m not backing down.

⸻

[Bridge –epic, slower with eerie choir backing-]

Ashes fall where angels lied,
Your kingdom sleeps and I’ve survived.
A ghost, a king, a broken soul—
Reborn from fire, made whole.

[Whispered]
You can’t kill what you never understood…

⸻

[Final Chorus –explosive, grand finale-]

I am the flame! I am the fall!
I am the storm that will swallow it all!
Not a god. Not a man. Not a name to forget—
I am vengeance, and I’m not done yet.

I wear the crown!
I wear the crown!
Of nothing…
And I’ll burn your heaven down.
