Crown of Ember
Y
Yann Berger
male vocals
metal
Epic melodic metal with galloping double-kick
wide rhythm guitars
and soaring male vocals. Verses start in a tense half-time stomp
then surge into a heroic
chant-ready chorus. Long
emotional guitar solo builds from lyrical bends to rapid-fire runs over modulating chords
then returns to a towering final hook with gang shouts and cymbal showers.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ash in my lungs
Iron on my tongue
I dragged my name
Through the teeth of the world
Blood on the flag
Tore it from the mast
Every vow I swore
Came back as a curse
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the cracks of the stone I see it
Tiny spark that refuses to die
If the sky wants to drown this fire
Let it try
Let it try (yeah)
[Chorus]
Raise the crown of ember high
Burning in a broken sky
If I fall
I fall in flames
Carve my scars into your chains
I was forged to walk through fire
Scream the pain and feed the pyre
From the ruins
Hear my cry
Crown of ember
Never die
[Verse 2]
Boot prints on glass
Shattered halls of kings
Gold-throated ghosts
Still choking on greed
I wear their doubts
Like rust on my skin
Every wound I hide
Turns to heated steel
[Pre-Chorus]
All the shadows they threw behind me
Only sharpen the edge of my stride
If the dark wants to claim my breathing
Let it try
Let it try (come on)
[Chorus]
Raise the crown of ember high
Burning in a broken sky
If I fall
I fall in flames
Carve my scars into your chains
I was forged to walk through fire
Scream the pain and feed the pyre
From the ruins
Hear my cry
Crown of ember
Never die
[Bridge]
[Instrumental – long guitar solo
Builds from melodic phrasing to blazing runs
Band drops to half-time
Then explodes back in]
[Chorus]
Raise the crown of ember high
Burning in a broken sky
If I fall
I fall in flames
Carve my scars into your chains
I was forged to walk through fire
Scream the pain and feed the pyre
From the ruins
Hear my cry
Crown of ember
Never die (never die)
Ash in my lungs
Iron on my tongue
I dragged my name
Through the teeth of the world
Blood on the flag
Tore it from the mast
Every vow I swore
Came back as a curse
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the cracks of the stone I see it
Tiny spark that refuses to die
If the sky wants to drown this fire
Let it try
Let it try (yeah)
[Chorus]
Raise the crown of ember high
Burning in a broken sky
If I fall
I fall in flames
Carve my scars into your chains
I was forged to walk through fire
Scream the pain and feed the pyre
From the ruins
Hear my cry
Crown of ember
Never die
[Verse 2]
Boot prints on glass
Shattered halls of kings
Gold-throated ghosts
Still choking on greed
I wear their doubts
Like rust on my skin
Every wound I hide

Only sharpen the edge of my stride
If the dark wants to claim my breathing
Let it try
Let it try (come on)
[Chorus]
Raise the crown of ember high
Burning in a broken sky
If I fall
I fall in flames
Carve my scars into your chains
I was forged to walk through fire
Scream the pain and feed the pyre
From the ruins
Hear my cry

Crown of ember
Never die (never die)
