Lyrics
I reached the throne with ashes on my handsNo golden gates, no promised landJust every version of me I had to loseStanding in silence like a crown I didn’t choose
The chains are quiet, but I still hear their shapeThe ghosts still whisper from the rooms I escapedBut I don’t turn, and I don’t close my eyesI let the dead past watch me rise
This is not revenge nowThis is not their warI came back from the endingTo own myself once more
Dominion eternal, carved into my bonesI am not the wound, I am not the ghostEvery shadow kneels when I speak my nameDominion eternal —I rule what tried to reign
I own the stormI own the flameI own the darkThat called my name
I don’t need a kingdom built from broken menI don’t need their fear to feel whole againLet the vultures circle what I left behindThey can feed on the girl who was too afraid to shine
I wear no halo, I wear no lieJust the blackened wings I grew when I refused to dieThere’s a beast at my side and a child in my chestAnd I crown them both because they did their best
Bow down?No!Not to them!
Bow down?No!Never again!
Crown the scar!Crown the scream!Crown the girl beneath the dream!
Crown the beast!Crown the pain!Crown the blood that broke the chain!
I am the voiceI am the throneI am the houseI built from bone
I am the endI am the startI am the rulerOf my own dark heart
I own the stormI own the flameI own the darkThat called my name
Dominion eternal, carved into my bonesI am not the wound, I am not the ghostEvery shadow kneels when I speak my nameDominion eternal —I rule what tried to reign
Dominion eternal, no more borrowed skyI survived the grave and I learned how to flyIf the dark returns, let it come through the gatesDominion eternal —I decide my fate
The throne is not above the world
It is inside my chest
The dark does not leave
It listens
And I rest
