MACHINEBORNE - Crown of Thorns, Cloak of Light (EBF 10) - Power Metal Opera [AI]

As the Voiceborn’s power surges, so too does the weight of destiny. Once a frightened boy, now a figure of myth, he begins to unravel beneath the pressure of faith, fear, and prophecy. Crown of Thorns, Cloak of Light explores the cost of becoming a symbol — and the thin line between divinity and destruction. 🎙️ Lyrics I felt the warmth in every word They said it meant I’d heal the world But every song I tried to sing Left fire behind — and shattered things They named me light, they knelt in fear They saw their sins reflected here But I was just a child with sound A song that broke their sacred ground I tried to lift them But they bent And broke beneath The testament So crown me now in thorns and flame A voice that never asked for fame Wrap me in light they cannot bear I sing — and strip the heavens bare My name was whispered in the dark Now even gods can feel the spark I am no savior from the skies I burn the veil — I open eyes They made me holy I made me whole The song is mine Not yours to hold So crown me now in thorns and flame A voice that never asked for fame Wrap me in light they cannot bear I sing — and strip the heavens bare I never asked To be the sound But silence never Held its ground
