CROWN-BREAKER’S DILEMMA

Track 8 — The Black Lantern Guild — “The Age of Ash and Crowns” Every crown we break leaves splinters Every splinter learns a name You cut one head from the problem And the ground grows teeth again They don’t rise because they’re chosen They rise because we leave a chair And empty seats are invitations Written in the air We can burn the throne to embers We can salt the royal floor But someone always builds a platform Where the ashes were before This is the crown-breaker’s dilemma Leave it standing, let it rot Tear it down and watch ten others Climb the ruin that you bought This is the crown-breaker’s dilemma No clean hands, no holy end Every act of liberation Teaches tyrants how to pretend They beg us now to choose for them To rule the fear away They say “If not you, who?” Like that absolves the price we’d pay We didn’t march to wear the iron We didn’t bleed to learn the lie That power’s pure if we’re the ones Deciding who must die This is the crown-breaker’s dilemma Become the thing we swore to kill Or walk away and let the city Build its gallows from free will This is the crown-breaker’s dilemma No commandment, no decree Just a choice that stains forever Whatever side it chooses to be If we stay We rule If we rule We rot If we leave They’ll suffer If they suffer They’ll crown Someone else No throne (NO THRONE) No crown (NO CROWN) But tell that to the crowd (TELL THEM) Who kneels (BEFORE) Something (ALWAYS) This is the crown-breaker’s dilemma There is no victory parade Just the weight of every future That our absence or our blade Will make The Lantern flickers Not hungry Not afraid Just waiting For a decision It cannot make
