Songtext von Queen of the Ruins

No mercy No mercy I wear no crown, I hold no claim, no mercy Yet all that's left still speaks my name The marble cracked But I remained to watch it well They built their world on hollow creeds Then bled it dry to feed their needs But stone remembers what they fear And I still walk the ashes here I did not rise for their applause Nor dance beneath their rusted laws I stood when glory turned to dust And ruled because I must Let others chase their thrones of glass I learned to build from broken past My voice is carved in every wall Not from rise (but from the fall) No court decreed what I became No scripture gave my soul a name But ruins taught me how to reign Without a crown and without chains I am the queen of what survived The flame that walked when none arrived No gold, no throne, no saints to bless Just truth dressed in a battle dress They wrote me off in quiet lies But I'm the one they can't deny, no mercy I am the queen of every scar The one who stood when gods withdrew They crowned my silence once with fire But now I speak, and they bow too No kingdom left, no mask, no lies Yet still I rise No mercy
