Ashes and Vows

[Verse 1] (Slow, eerie intro, low vocals) I carved your name into my bones, Trusted you, called you my own. But you lit the match, watched it burn, Now it's my turn, now it's my turn. [Pre-Chorus] (Building intensity, drums kicking in) Did you think I'd fade away? Did you pray I'd break and stay? No, darling, I rise from pain, With fire running through my veins. [Chorus] (Powerful, sharp, vengeful tone) I loved, I bled, I burned, I fell, Now watch me drag you down to hell. Every vow you broke, I keep, Whispered in the dark, carved in deep. Your lies will drown, your sins will pay, Ashes and vows, washed away. [Verse 2] (Dark, restrained anger, controlled yet lethal) You wove your web with poisoned thread, Kissed my cheek and wished me dead. But ghosts don’t sleep, and neither do I, So tell me, love, do you taste the lie? [Pre-Chorus] (More intense, heart pounding beat) Did you think I'd fade away? Did you pray I'd break and stay? No, darling, I rise from pain, With fire running through my veins. [Chorus] (Explosive, full instrumentation, raw power) I loved, I bled, I burned, I fell, Now watch me drag you down to hell. Every vow you broke, I keep, Whispered in the dark, carved in deep. Your lies will drown, your sins will pay, Ashes and vows, washed away. [Bridge] (Quiet, eerie, like the calm before a storm, then crescendo) I should have known, I should have seen, The venom hiding underneath. But love makes fools of kings and queens, And now you’ll kneel and learn what it means. [Final Chorus] (Ruthless, fierce, victorious tone) I loved, I bled, I burned, I fell, Now watch me drag you down to hell. Every vow you broke, I keep, Whispered in the dark, carved in deep. Your lies will drown, your sins will pay, Ashes and vows, washed away. [Outro] (Soft, haunting, like a whisper in the dark) Ashes and vows… washed away.

The kettle hissed, a rising steam, A simple word, a shattered dream. A flicker then, a sudden flame, The whisper of a darker name. (Chorus) For when the anger takes its hold, A chilling story to be told. The demons rise, a hungry pack, They crave my flesh, they turn me black. A shadow stirs, within my soul, A whispered curse, beyond control. My fingers clench, my breath grows tight, The world dissolves in blinding light. The gentle man, he fades away, Replaced by beasts, that own the day. They claw and bite, they snarl and sneer, And feed upon my deepest fear. (Chorus) For when the anger takes its hold, A chilling story to be told. The demons rise, a hungry pack, They crave my flesh, they turn me black. My eyes reflect a burning fire, A twisted need, a dark desire. To lash and break, to rend and tear, To drown the world in bleak despair. I fight them back, with trembling hand, To reclaim my soul, to make a stand. But they are strong, they pull me down, And steal my peace, and wear my crown. (Chorus) For when the anger takes its hold, A chilling story to be told. The demons rise, a hungry pack, They crave my flesh, they turn me black. The silence falls, the storm has passed, A broken mirror, shattered glass. The demons sleep, a weary sigh, But wait for when, I next will cry. And in the quiet, I understand, The battle waged, within this land. The demons wait, they always will, For anger's spark, to rise and kill.

(Verse 1 – Soft, melancholic, like a lone wolf staring at the moon) Born in shadows, raised in chains, A prince in name, but bound in pain. They called me weak, they made their mark, Gold in my eyes, fire in my heart. (Verse 2 – A slow build, frustration growing, the weight of expectation) They wanted war, they wanted steel, A sharpened blade that wouldn’t feel. But I am more than blood and name, I am the spark that breaks the flame. (Pre-Chorus – A defiant whisper, just before the storm) I hear them call, I hear them cry, "Bow your head, know your place, don’t ask why." But I won’t kneel, I won’t fade, I’ll carve my fate with my own blade. (Chorus – Explosive, triumphant, Lucien’s true strength shining through) I am the storm, I am the wild, Not just a name, not just a child. Golden chains won’t hold me down, Watch me rise, I won’t be bound. (Verse 3 – Reflection, the weight of loss and love) He raised me up, he showed me light, A guiding hand through endless night. But even stars can’t chase the past, Some wounds are made too deep to last. (Bridge – A breaking point, pain and strength entwined) Let them curse, let them claim, I’ll never be just their father’s name. I choose my path, I make my stand, With fire and love in both my hands. (Final Chorus – Pure catharsis, a king in his own right) I am the storm, I am the wild, Not just a name, not just a child. Golden chains won’t hold me down, Watch me rise, I won’t be bound. (Outro – Fading echoes, determination lingering like embers in the dark) Born in shadows, raised in chains… But no crown will tell me who I am.

[Verse] Splintered glass beneath my tread Voices screaming inside my head Broken mirrors reflect my shame Who am I now I ain’t the same [Verse] Rustling chains dragging me down Wear a smile it’s just a frown Shadows climb my spine at night Gripping me tight they steal the light [Chorus] Clawing out from a shattered edge Bloodied knuckles at every ledge Lost myself in this endless void A soul forgotten a life destroyed [Verse] Fear it festers like open wounds Howling winds they sing my tunes Living in the wreckage of dreams The silence louder than my screams [Verse] Rage ignites like gasoline Scorching skies in shades obscene Burn it down start again Carve a path in ashes and sin [Chorus] Clawing out from a shattered edge Bloodied knuckles at every ledge Lost myself in this endless void A soul forgotten a life destroyed

[Verse] Rumbling under wheels night stretched wide Headlights slicing through nothing but pride Chasing echoes lost in a twisted ride Gone too far to have nothing to hide [Verse 2] Dust devils dancing in the rearview Ghost towns whisper what we once knew Radio static plays broken blues Voices lost in endless queues [Chorus] Highway of shadows no end in sight Engines roaring into the night Questioning everything we’ve become Searching for silence Bury the hum [Verse 3] Neon signs scream dollar dreams Empty promises rip at the seams Miles to go through splintered beams Wide open spaces ain't what they seem [Bridge] Stars falling like wishes denied Ground beneath us has already died Hope is something we tried to confide Now it’s just ashes on this midnight ride [Verse 4] Chasing the dawn but it never arrives Hold onto nothing trying to survive Here in the dark where lost souls thrive Road to nowhere still feels alive
