i should've stayed

[Intro:]
Saw it in your eyes—before the blade came down.
The lies you stitched still bleed, still drown.
I’ve met the Devil...
He’s kinder than you.

[Verse 1:]
Brace for the blow—it’s closing fast.
Truth cuts deeper than your past.
I carve the names in scars you left—
Your throne’s a tomb, built out of theft.
Your mask is cracked, truth bleeding through.
You buried guilt like it wouldn’t bloom.
You're the frost in every vein.
Now the silence screams your name.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Your fire’s out—just smoke and shame.
I won’t bleed for you again.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR WORDS ALL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY LIFE’S A FIST!
DEVIL’S AT YOUR DOOR—CHOKE ON WHAT YOU WROTE!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on it—swallow the flame!
Drown in truth—you forged the blame!
Storm is rising—your crown won’t last!
Truth is metal—and breaks like glass!

[Verse 2:]
You spit your venom, circle lies—
I wear my wounds like armor ties.
You cut deep, but I never dropped—
You cut deep, and I rose up.
I’m what you fear—unbowed, unbent.
Gold turns black—your testament.
Truth’s a blade and I’m its edge.
Say my name... and taste regret.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You said I’d break—but here I stand.
This rage was forged in your own hands.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES ALL BURN!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—I’VE EARNED MY TURN!
DEVIL’S GOT YOU NOW—CHOKE IN ENDLESS NIGHT!

[Post-Chorus:]
Burn in pride—your throne’s a shell!
Drown in rust—you built this hell!
False king falls—no one kneels!
Truth don’t beg, it breaks and heals!

[Bridge:]
You swore I’d fail—you watched me bleed.
Now I’m thunder—cracking teeth.
You laughed me down—now hear me rise.
I’m the storm behind your lies.
RISE!

[Final Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES STILL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY FURY PERSISTS!
DEVIL’S GOT YOUR THROAT—YOUR CROWN’S CORRUPT!
CHOKE ON FLAME—WHILE I RISE FROM DUST!
NEVER FORGIVE! NEVER!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on pride—truth won't die.
Rage you gave—I wear like light.
Watch me rise—fear me now.
I am the reckoning—you allowed.

[Outro:]
I’ve seen your worst.
I’m still here.
That’s what scares you most.

Song Title: Throne of Shadows
Artist: SteelBorn Blood
Tribute to: Ozzy Osbourne
Released: July 22, 2025
Genre: Heavy Metal / Doom Metal


“Throne of Shadows” is a thunderous and heartfelt metal tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, released by SteelBorn Blood on the very day the Prince of Darkness passed — July 22, 2025.
Forged in distortion, grief, and undying respect, the song channels the eerie grandeur of Ozzy’s legacy with pounding drums, haunting guitar harmonies, and a doom-soaked riff that rises like a black sun over an apocalyptic skyline. The lyrics are a chilling journey through Ozzy’s mythos: from the dark alleys of Birmingham to the iron gates of heavy metal heaven.
With a voice drenched in reverence and rage, the vocalist roars an oath to the man who transformed madness into music. It’s not just a song — it’s a funeral march for a legend, a battle cry of eternal gratitude, and a torch passed to the next generation of darkness.
Dedicated to the immortal soul of Ozzy Osbourne (1948 – 2025),
The throne is yours, forever...

Throne of Shadows (Ode to the Prince of Darkness)

[Verse 1]
I need a spark to wake these bones,
You strike the fuse, you cut me close.
You drag me deep where the shadows spin,
Don’t hold back now — pull me in.

[Pre -Chorus 1]
Set this heart on fire, don’t let it fade,
Your touch cuts through where the secrets stay.
Etch your mark under my skin,
Let this burn begin again.

[Chorus 1]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Feed this ache, don’t fade away.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Crack these walls ‘til the silence breaks.

[Verse 2]
You wind me tight like a broken dream,
You crack my calm, split my seams.
When I fall hard through the static haze,
Will you stay close when the embers blaze?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tear this night apart, don’t let it drown,
Your hands pull truth where the dark runs out.
Scratch your vow into my skin,
Let the fever flood me in.

[Chorus 2]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Keep me raw in your hidden flame.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Light my bones where the shadows stay.

[Bridge]
Tie me up in your reckless storm,
Carve your name where my scars are worn.
I’ll keep this flame behind dead eyes,
Let me break where the lost ones rise.

[Pre-Chorus 3 — Final]
Burn this heartbeat loud, don’t let it lie,
Your touch cuts deep where my ruins hide.
Trace your fire across my skin,
Let me drown and rise again.

[Chorus 3 — Final]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Fuel this fire where the lost remain.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Brand my soul, let it scream my name.

Slow Burn

The Key

A descent into shadow, Death of the Voice is an unflinching blend of crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and cinematic atmosphere. Every track is a chapter in a story of defiance, decay, and the search for meaning in a world that silences the truth.

The Dark Silhouette

Verse 1
Through shattered skies and burning streets, I run,
Blood on my hands but I won’t let go of love.
You’re fading fast, a whisper on the wind,
A hole in your chest where my life should’ve been.

I’ve sworn to the gods, to the dark, to the fire,
Nothing can stop this unholy desire.
If I must burn, then I’ll burn with a smile,
Just to see yours again, even for a while.

Pre-Chorus
Every scar I wear is a vow I made,
Every breath a promise I’ll never break.

Chorus
I’ll rip out my heart if it means you’ll survive,
Bleed out my soul just to keep you alive.
I’ll be the monster, the blade, the storm,
An unstoppable force keeping you warm.
Even if it kills me, even if I’m gone,
You’re worth every battle, every drop of my blood.

Verse 2
The shadows call but they can’t chain me down,
I’m stronger than fear, I’m breaking the ground.
Your blood on my hands, but your name on my lips,
The world can collapse, but I’ll never quit.

Your eyes still flicker, a light in the dark,
A dying flame I protect with my heart.
If my body’s the price, then take it whole —
Just let your smile anchor my soul.

Pre-Chorus
Every wound I take is a prayer I send,
Every scream a promise I’ll fight till the end.

Chorus
I’ll rip out my heart if it means you’ll survive,
Bleed out my soul just to keep you alive.
I’ll be the monster, the blade, the storm,
An unstoppable force keeping you warm.
Even if it kills me, even if I’m gone,
You’re worth every battle, every drop of my blood.

Bridge
Cut me open, tear me apart,
Replace your wound with all of my heart.
I’ll give you my life, I’ll give you my breath,
I’ll fight even death, I’ll fight even death.

Final Chorus
I’ll rip out my heart if it means you’ll survive,
Bleed out my soul just to keep you alive.
I’ll be the monster, the blade, the storm,
An unstoppable force keeping you warm.
Even if it kills me, even if I’m gone,
I’ll carve through the heavens just to bring you home.

Outro
And when you breathe again,
Remember my name.
