I don’t run with the shouting crowd
I don’t wear borrowed crowns
Every step cuts into the ground
This is the weight I carry now
Steel in my spine, fire in my chest
I don’t rise — I stand and test
IRON WEIGHT — on my back
I don’t break, I don’t crack
IRON WEIGHT — blood and bone
I carry this — alone
I’ve seen men burn just to shine
I’ve seen gold rot over time
No throne lifts me from the dirt
Every crown is paid in hurt
No blessing asked, no knee bent
This load is mine — and I meant it
IRON WEIGHT — on my back
I don’t bend, I don’t slack
IRON WEIGHT — flesh and stone
I carry this — alone
If this is power, feel the cost
Every gain is something lost
I don’t rule from up above
I stand below — and that’s enough
IRON WEIGHT — hear it fall
I don’t kneel, I don’t crawl
IRON WEIGHT — mine to own
I stand here — alone

MIDNIGHT ALCHEMY
CROWN OF ASH & FIRE is MIDNIGHT ALCHEMY's second album,
a deeper and more visceral exploration of their concept of "midnight alchemy."
Across ten tracks, the album traces rejection of authority, pressure, impulse, release, dignity, acceleration, intoxication, obsession, and unresolved desire.
Rather than portraying victory or salvation, these songs capture figures who continue to walk forward -
cloaked in ash and flame.
Musically rooted in British hard rock, the album avoids excessive polish or modern aggression.
Instead, it focuses relentlessly on the fundamentals of rock: riffs, groove, and the weight of the human voice.
What resonates here is not completion or arrival.
It is the ember that remains after the fire has burned -
the imperfection that gives birth to what comes next.
CROWN OF ASH & FIRE is not an ending.
It is an unfinished crown, forged to carry the story forward.
