THE FALLEN CROWN

Verse 1
Democracy is fading, breathing cold upon the stone,
The loudest fools are shouting, and the wisest stand alone.
We call desire “freedom,” but it’s only empty noise —
A kingdom built on ego and a war of broken toys.

Chorus
’Cause freedom has a border where another heart begins,
And speech cannot be higher than the dignity it wins.
Our rights can’t rise above the ones we’re bound to care about,
A world without responsibility is only burning out.

Verse 2
The younger hearts are learning all the pages without weight,
Duty, truth, and sacrifice have vanished from their faith.
No, we’re not born equal — neither body, wealth, nor place —
But equal is the calling to protect the human grace.

Chorus
’Cause freedom has a border where another heart begins,
And speech cannot be higher than the dignity it wins.
The self cannot be greater than the whole we’re standing for —
A world that worships “me above all” won’t survive the storm.

Bridge
If every right is mine alone, the nation fades to none,
But something still can rise again if we choose to become one.

Final Chorus
Freedom has a border where another heart begins,
And speech cannot be higher than the dignity it wins.
The lie that we are equal falls away when we are born —
But we can build a future where the truth becomes the dawn.
