Broken Crowns

3:44Debut albumWritten by Nick Duffey

A defiant anthem about people finding their collective voice, rejecting fear, and reclaiming a future from broken systems of power.

A kingdom built from fear
A throne of fractured bones...
You taught us to be silent
But now we’ve found our voice

You paint the sky with lies and call it holy light
But we see the cracks behind your smile tonight
You put the crown on parasites
Told us to kneel, told us to fight

We drowned in the dirt while you fed on the throne
We built your empire, you claimed it your own
But the weak you made—we’ve grown teeth
And we’re coming for what’s ours beneath...

We’re the embers you left to die
Now we burn the sky

We were shattered into dust
But dust becomes the storm that rises up
No more chains, no more bowing down
We’ll tear your idols from the ground
We won’t be ruled by broken crowns

You promised hope but gave us wars
Locked every dream behind your doors
Your greed is carved in every stone
A monument to all you own

But statues fall and tyrants bleed
You’ll reap the screams from every seed
Your time is up—your reign will crack
We want our future
We’re taking it back

Crush the throne
Crush the throne
We raise our fists—you’re overthrown

Let your kingdom turn to rust
Let your power turn to dust

You took our hope
Now choke on fear
Our voices are the swords you hear

We were shattered into dust
But dust becomes the storm that rises up
No more chains, no more bowing down
We’ll tear your idols from the ground
We won’t be ruled by broken crowns

History is written by survivors...
And we have survived
Your crown is broken
We are not
