Peace Is The Prize | Edward Lytton | For St Elizabeth of Portugal | Indie Folk Acoustic Song 2026

Lyrics [Verse 1] Born to a crown, but not to its pride Gold on the walls, truth on her side A child of mercy in a hard-handed age Learning the cost of a kingdom and a name [Verse 2] She wore the ring, but bore the shame A wandering heart beside her name Betrayed in public, faithful in prayer She chose forgiveness when anger was there [Pre-Chorus] While swords were sharpened, she knelt instead Turning bitter bread into daily bread [Chorus] Peace is the prize, not the throne, not the sword Not the shout of victory, but the quiet word When the world cries “take”, she opens her hands Peace is the prize, in a broken land [Verse 3] Between the father and the son she stood When the drums of war were understood She crossed the lines where armies meet With nothing but faith at her feet [Verse 4] She fed the poor from a hidden place Hearts full of bread, arms full of grace “What do you carry?” the king once cried Roses fell open where loaves should hide [Pre-Chorus 2] What love conceals, heaven reveals What mercy gives, the world can’t steal [Chorus] Peace is the prize, not the throne, not the sword Not the shout of victory, but the quiet word When the world cries “take”, she opens her hands Peace is the prize, in a broken land [Bridge] When crowns fall silent and banners decay What still remains is the choice we make To heal, not harden, to bend, not break To lose the fight for mercy’s sake [Final Verse] O leaders of now, with your crowns of noise Your walls of fear, your empty joys Look to the queen who laid hers down Who ruled by love, not by crown [Final Chorus (lift / harmonies)] Peace is the prize, hear history say It outlives the night, it outlasts the day Not won by force, not bought by might Peace is the prize — walk into the light Outro She chose the poor, she chose the way She showed us how the crown should weigh Peace Is The Prize | Edward Lytton | Indie Folk Acoustic Song 2026 | For St Elizabeth of Portugal Style: Style: modern indie folk, eclectic ensemble sound, acoustic, reverent but contemporary, Instruments: Finger-picked acoustic guitar, warm bass, light percussion, accordian, mandolin, subtle strings, Intimate weathered male or female vocal, emotional but restrained.
