Basalt Crown – (1995) Serrated Silence – Shadowflash [S01]

[Verse]
Flying like a magpie through the open blue
Chasing down the sunlight with a view so true
Heading for the bullseye nothing slows me down
Sky’s the only kingdom I’ll ever wear as a crown

[Chorus]
Gotta move fast gotta make it last
Every single heartbeat racing past
Wings of fire cutting through the air
Nothing can stop me I’m already there

[Verse 2]
Clouds beneath my shadow whisper tales untold
Silver streaks of lightning bold and uncontrolled
Freedom is my compass the wind’s my melody
I’m soaring higher than anyone can see

[Bridge]
The stars are winking daring me to climb
I’ll reach the edge of everything in record time
No ground below me just the endless sky
I’m a magpie on a mission watch me fly

[Chorus]
Gotta move fast gotta make it last
Every single heartbeat racing past
Wings of fire cutting through the air
Nothing can stop me I’m already there

[Outro]
Faster than the future brighter than the flame
A magpie chasing destiny calling out my name
Through the endless heavens I’ll forever glide
Nothing can tether me I’m freedom’s pride

Magpie Sky

[Verse]
I should of seen the signs
Should of noticed your grand design
Should of broke the ties that bind
Now I see that I was blind

[Verse 2]
Every promise was a paper plane
Crumpled and lost in the pouring rain
You played your part your control was tight
But as time went on I saw the light

[Chorus]
Jeepers Creepers guess you're not a keeper
Betrayed my trust let it turn to dust
Thought you were gold but you're just a deceiver
Fooling me with lies that you adjust

[Verse 3]
Your words were candy coated with a grin
But inside you hid the thorns within
Took my dreams and tossed them out to sea
Never again will you fool me

[Verse 4]
I remember that day you played innocent
You knew yet you remained ignorant
You kept to your Insidious lies
And I saw through your hideous disguise

[Bridge]
I won't be your shadow in the night
I found my spark I'm my own light
You can run you can hide
But I'm free and I'm alive

[Chorus]
Jeepers Creepers guess you're not a keeper
Betrayed my trust let it turn to dust
Thought you were gold but you're just a deceiver
Fooling me with lies that you adjust

[Outro]
After all is said and done
You know that you're the only one
Imprinting lies upon my soul
Your deceptive ways takes it's toll
After all is said and done
You know that you're the only one
The trust we built just a charade
The wasted years I can't reclaim 

Jeepers Creepers Guess You're Not A Keeper

betrayed

[Verse]
Are you really gone,  just a shadow in the night
Did you fade like smoke or burn out the light
Your throne is empty
The crown turns cold
The story is written
A legend of old

[Prechorus]
The echoes scream
The silence bites
A shot in the dark
No end in sight

[Chorus]
Lightning flashes
Never to return
Flames to ashes
Let the embers burn
The prince of darkness
Your name still reigns
All aboard
We’re on the crazy train

[Verse 2]
The rails are twisted
The stars don’t align
A path uncharted
The war pigs confined
Did you chase the wind or the edge of the blade
Or leave us spinning in the chaos you made

[Prechorus]
The whispers grow
The void remains
We’re lost in the glitch of your nightmare reign

[Chorus]
Lightning flashes
Never to return
Flames to ashes
Let the embers burn
The prince of darkness
Your name still reigns
All aboard
We’re on the crazy train

Legacy of the Prince of Darkness

[Verse]
What’s the cost of a whispered truth
When the echo swallows the proof
Why do we run when the ground stands still
Climbing backwards up the hill

[Prechorus]
Is the answer just a lie in disguise
Or a mirror reflecting our alibis

[Chorus]
Looking for questions to answer the lie
Everything backwards we don’t ask why
Voices cry out but no one hears
Deafening cries of an action so clear

[Verse 2]
What’s the weight of a shadow’s fall
Does it carry the weight of it all
If silence speaks louder than the noise
Are we just static lost in the void

[Bridge]
Do we rewind or break the tape
Is the future just a looped escape
The louder it gets the less we feel
Is the backward truth the only real

[Chorus]
Looking for questions to answer the lie
Everything backwards we don’t ask why
Voices cry out but no one hears
Deafening cries of an action so clear

The Deafening Silence

Damned

Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.
