“Ahhhhh ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhh “
Ashes in the throne room
Dust upon the stones
Silence where the gods once ruled
And no one left to own
“I bathed him in milk and myrrh
I taught him songs at dawn
Now all I hold is cloth and breath
And echoes of what’s gone”
“I carved their gods in temple light
Polished lies until they shone
But no one carved our children’s names
Or raised them from the stone
I built the crown they wear in flame
I fed the beast and cheered its name
Now silence reigns, and in its face –
I see the price of power and shame”
“Ashes in the throne room
Ashes in the grain
Ashes in the bloodlines
Ashes in our shame “
“We called it order, built on backs
And now the walls are caving
We blamed the ones who did the work
The ones we loved enslaving
You cannot raise thrones on broken breath
Or feast while others fast
You cannot build futures out of bones
And think the past will last “
“Where is the crown?
Who pulled the flame?
Who whispered fear
And called it fame?
Where are the gods?
Where is the law?
Who raised a mask
To hide the flaw? “
“He called himself the rising sun
The name all nations feared
But a god who watches children die
Is just a man who disappeared
We buried sons and burned the scrolls
And sang a song to feed his goals
But now the silence speaks instead –
And now we see the empire’s dead”
“Ashes in the throne room
Ashes where we trust
Ashes in the silence
Ashes in the dust “
