Anvil of the Ashen Crown

[Verse 1] Ashen crown on a broken town, sparks ascend and the stars fall down; Stone remembers every vow- heat writes destiny here and now. [Pre-Chorus] Bend the ore, let thunder sound, iron breath beneath the ground- [Chorus] Anvil of the ashen crown, strike the hour, hammer down! Feed the bellows, wake the flame, forge the world and carve the name. Fire speaks, the sky turns black- beat the heart and bring it back. [Verse 2] Veins of light in the furnace stone, glow like runes in a shattered throne; Hands of smoke, a tempered will- every blow is a binding seal. [Pre-Chorus] Bend the ore, let thunder sound, blood and ash in every pound- [Chorus] Anvil of the ashen crown, strike the hour, hammer down! Feed the bellows, wake the flame, forge the world and carve the name. Fire speaks, the sky turns black- beat the heart and bring it back. [Bridge] Stone to spark to sovereign fire, ashes crown the iron choir. [Final Chorus] Anvil of the ashen crown, strike the hour, hammer down! Feed the bellows, wake the flame, forge the world and carve the name. When it breaks, I remain- born in noise and welded flame.
