Crown of Shadows

Crown of Shadows

I never longed for shadow’s crown,  
But you kept trying to strike me down.  
You played me false, you played me sly,  
Now watch me strike and hear you cry.  

You lit the spark, I fed the flame,  
You wrote the rules, I’ll change the game.  
You drew the blade, I wore the scar,  
Now watch me rise for who you are.  

I am the queen of night’s domain,  
Born from betrayal, forged in pain.  
The chains are gone, the mask is mine,  
I walk the dark, my grand design.  

You wanted war, I’ll give you more,  
A thousand storms outside your door.  
You called me villain, wrote that part,  
But I’m the queen with a burning heart.  

So, hear my vow, it’s carved in stone,  
I’ll claim the throne you thought your own.  
The crown is twisted, sharp, and true,  
The villain lives, because of you.
