Ashen Empire

Don't offer me your open hand

I am not lost in shifting sand

I've memorized the heavy stone

And learned to build a throne alone (mmm)

Do you feel the pressure rise?

Cold fire in behind these eyes

I don't need a hand to save me

From the monster that you made me

Watch the shadows learn my name

We are not the same

Your pity is a paper shield

To guard a dry and barren field

But I am where the wild things grow

In frozen soils

you'll never know

Do you feel the pressure rise?

Cold fire in behind these eyes

I don't need a hand to save me

From the monster that you made me

Watch the shadows learn my name

We are not the same

We are not the same

(no,

we are not the same)
