Nazario Ai — Ash Crown Uprising

Ai metal [Intro] Drums like marching feet Cold wind Burning wheat Ash in my braided hair I rise I swear (hey!) [Verse 1] Born into borrowed chains Dead book in a foreign tongue Pale saints on the painted glass Calling my hunger “wrong” They carved fear into our maps Turned our forests into shame But roots drink deeper than lies Fire remembers its name [Pre-Chorus] I hear old thunder Under your shrines You built your heaven Over our spines [Chorus] We are the ash crown uprising (ugh!) Wolf blood Wide-eyed Uncompromising You tried to drown our dawn in psalms We break your cross with open palms Cut the strings from my mind From my skin Your promised kingdom will never begin From the barrow mounds to the mountain stone We take back spirit Body Bone (yeah!) [Verse 2] Icons watch from the walls Eyes like rusted nails Kneel Confess Obey Same script Same stale tales But I remember the grove Smoke Salt Iron and rain Names you buried as “sin” Chanting under my veins [Pre-Chorus] Your paper heaven Catches like straw Old gods laughing At your law [Chorus] We are the ash crown uprising (rise!) Wolf blood Wide-eyed Uncompromising You tried to drown our dawn in psalms We break your cross with open palms Cut the strings from my mind From my skin Your promised kingdom will never begin From the barrow mounds to the mountain stone We take back spirit Body Bone [Bridge] Burn the script from my tongue (my tongue) Cleanse this fear from my lungs (my lungs) If your heaven needs my chains Set it on flames On flames [Build] Stone by stone Your altar falls Hear that roar? Ancestral calls East to west The spell is done Your borrowed god Is overrun (ugh!) [Chorus] We are the ash crown uprising (screaming!) Wolf blood Wide-eyed Uncompromising You tried to drown our dawn in psalms We break your cross with open palms Cut the strings from my mind From my skin Your promised kingdom will never begin From the barrow mounds to the mountain stone We take back spirit Body Bone [Outro] Cold wind Burning wheat Old drums under my feet I walk out of your grave Untamed.
