Blessings Never Fade (Version 2)

Verse

I carried embers back from a war I never won

Gold armor rusting where the winter comes

The ravens told me every crown has to burn before it's done

Something in my chest still hums like it was born for dawn

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the iron letting go of bone

Every scar is a door that never closes on its own

Something deeper than this empty throne is mine

I am not the king they buried under stone

Chorus

Blessings never fade, even when the crown goes cold

The fire still remembers every heart it's ever held

I don't need to wear it anymore to know I'm told

Everything good that I loved is already gold

Verse 2

Now my shoulders are bare and open like a gate in time

The wolves who kept me warm through all the winter's darkest night

They run with my own shadow, nothing lost behind

Every name I ever ruled can now be said to mine

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the iron letting go of bone

Every scar is a door that never closes on its own

Something deeper than this empty throne is mine

I am not the king they buried under stone

Chorus

Blessings never fade, even when the crown goes cold

The fire still remembers every heart it's ever held

I don't need to wear it anymore to know I'm told

Everything good that I loved is already gold

Bridge

No throne can hold what doesn't fear to fall

Let the mountain keep my name for all the winter's wall

This is how the brave become more than stone

It's not about being king, it's just about the dawn

Every crown was never mine to own

The fire never waited for a title that would grow

I already rose up where they laid me low

Chorus

Blessings never fade, even when the crown goes cold

The fire still remembers every heart it's ever held

I don't need to wear it anymore to know I'm told

Everything good that I loved is already gold
