🎶 Kings and Ashes - John Voltage 🎸

"Kings and Ashes" is a soaring, dramatic classic rock power ballad in the tradition of Queen and Journey. It tells the epic, cautionary tale of a star who reached unimaginable fame, sacrificing everything—including their own soul—in the pursuit of the spotlight. Starting with a quiet, reflective tone and a moody riff, the song quickly builds into a colossal, stadium-filling chorus that laments the "kings" they once were. It’s a raw, honest look at the heavy price of success, culminating in a powerful, regret-filled guitar solo and the realization that all that remains of the empire is a handful of dust. It's a rock anthem about the quiet devastation after the roar is gone. 🔔 Like, comment and subscribe to stay tuned! 👉 Check all songs:    • 🎶 All songs | Abiding Illusion 🎧📻   🙏 Thank you for listening! [Verse] Ten thousand screams a night, that was my lullaby A crown of blinding light, beneath a fake blue sky The paper crowns and promises, they stacked up by the door I traded simple happiness for just a little more Yeah, I thought the thunder was the only way to live I had a hundred empty hands, but nothing left to give [Chorus] Oh, we were kings, we were giants, dancing on the sun We sold the silence for defiance 'til the damage was done Now the empire's gone, the smoke has cleared, the spotlights fade to black Just a handful of ashes and a memory I can't take back [Verse 2] The velvet curtain closed, the roadies packed the gear I chased the phantom high and killed the man I held so dear I didn't hear the warnings then, I thought I was too strong I burned every bridge I built to prove the critics wrong Now the only echo in this room is the beating of my heart Wish I could trade the masterpiece for a quiet, brand new start [Chorus] Oh, we were kings, we were giants, dancing on the sun We sold the silence for defiance 'til the damage was done Now the empire's gone, the smoke has cleared, the spotlights fade to black Just a handful of ashes and a memory I can't take back [Verse 3] The mansion’s cold tonight, the gold plating starts to peel I see the kid who stood outside and wonder what was real He just wanted a six-string guitar and a decent place to sleep He never asked for all this hell, these promises I couldn't keep The fame is a hungry beast, it takes more than it feeds It leaves you on your knees among the ruins of your needs [Chorus] Oh, we were kings, we were giants, dancing on the sun We sold the silence for defiance 'til the damage was done Now the empire's gone, the smoke has cleared, the spotlights fade to black Just a handful of ashes and a memory I can't take back [Outro] Just a memory I can't take back... #AbidingIllusion #JohnVoltage #rock #southernrock #80s #hardrock
