Sin l - Pride (The Throne in My Chest)

metal, Dark Symphonic, Dark, aggressive, [Post Modern Metal], Music Box

[Verse 1]
I etched my name into the sky with smoke
Fed the stars my blood so they'd never go broke
I crowned my shadow in molten gold
And whispered, “Even death does as it’s told”

The world was a mirror—I made it kneel
Bent its frame with nothing but will
Every voice just echoes of mine
Each breath a sermon, each blink divine

[Chorus – Melodic, rising tension]
There’s a throne in my chest
Where a heart used to be
I built it from bones
Of the ones beneath me
I don’t bleed—I decree
I don’t fall—I ascend
I am the god
That gods resent

[Verse 2]
Kissed the ash from my own downfall
Laughed in the face of every crawl
They warned me the wings would melt
But I made the sun kneel and felt nothing else

I held the silence by the throat
Told it speak my name or choke
And when it wept, I bathed in sound
The hymn of never bowing down

[Chorus – With harmonies and scream layering]
There’s a throne in my chest
Where a heart used to be
I built it from bones
Of the ones beneath me
I don’t bleed—I decree
I don’t fall—I ascend
I am the god
That gods resent

[Verse 3 – Slower, darker imagery]
I carved commandments in my skin
Wrote “Worship me” where faith had been
My smile cracked, but still I preached
From the pulpit of a corpse I leashed

The crowd was gone—I stayed to speak
To hollow chairs and shadows weak
And when the echo turned to dust
I crowned myself—because I must

[Bridge – Spoken word into screamed lines]
They said pride comes before the fall...
But I fell upward
Through the fire, through the veil
Through the lies I had nailed
To the altar of my name
(I am the altar)
(I am the flame)

So let the sky split at my word
Let the stars weep my name unheard
I am not broken—I am born
From the ruin of those who warned

[[Guitar Solo 1] – Slow, melodic intro that spirals into chaos]

[Breakdown 1 – Heavy, crawling rhythm]
Crown of ash, smile of stone
Ruler of ruin, I sit alone
The choir’s dead, but I still sing
A hymn of nothing, echoing

[Chorus – Refrain with added desperation]
There’s a throne in my chest
Where a heart used to be
I built it from bones
Of the ones beneath me
I don’t bleed—I decree
I don’t fall—I ascend
I am the god
That gods resent

[Bridge 2 – Fragmented, surreal delivery]
Was I ever loved... or just obeyed?
Did they bow from awe... or were they afraid?
Now the mirror bends with each breath I take
But I won’t break
I won't break

[[Guitar Solo 2] – Short, chaotic riff into silence]

[Breakdown 2 – Final, brutal]
This crown is thorns
But I wear it proud
Let them carve my name
In smoke and shroud

[Final Chorus – Slower, grand and tragic]
There’s a throne in my chest
Where the pain used to be
I silenced the doubt
With divinity
I don’t die—I declare
I don’t break—I bend
I am the wound
That will not mend

[Outro – Whispered and layered over ambient distortion]
(If I fall...)
(...let the heavens burn with me.)
(If I fall...)
(...they fall with me.)
