Historical Inspiration
In 1889, Brazil underwent a significant transformation when a military coup led to the dethronement of Emperor Dom Pedro II, marking the end of the Brazilian Empire. "The Broken Crown" reflects on this pivotal moment, exploring the societal shifts and the emergence of republican ideals. The song encapsulates the tension between the fading monarchy and the burgeoning desire for a new governmental structure, symbolizing hope and renewal arising from the empire's ashes.

Lyrics: "The Broken Crown"
1:11
In eighteen eighty-nine it broke,
The crown shattered beneath the stroke.
Of revolution’s winds so strong,
The empire couldn’t last for long.

1:24
The emperor’s fall, the court displaced,
The royal line, its future faced.
Republic’s dawn upon the land,
The broken crown slips from their hand.

1:40
The Crown has fallen!
A monarch lost, an age undone,
Of revolution’s winds so strong,
The empire couldn’t last for long.

2:00
The emperor’s fall, the court displaced,
The royal line, its future faced.
Republic’s dawn upon the land,
The broken crown slips from their hand.

2:15
The Crown has fallen!
A monarch lost, an age undone,
An empire fading with the sun.
From golden halls to exile’s shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.

2:34
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdom’s chained.
Once a crown upon a king,
Now just a shattered, distant thing.

GUITAR SOLO

3:05
Dom Pedro stood, a ruler wise,
But shadows loomed across the skies.
His royal heart, though noble pure,
Could not withstand the change so sure.

3:20
The empire crumbles!
With liberty’s call, the nation turned,
The flame of royalty slowly burned.
The crown once bright, now cracked in two,
A relic of the past it grew.

3:38
The Crown has fallen!
A monarch lost, an age undone,
An empire fading with the sun.
From golden halls to exile’s shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.

3:54
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdom’s chained.
Once a crown upon a king,
Now just a shattered, distant thing.

4:11
No more chains!
No longer on a ruler's brow,
The crown is fractured, fallen now.
The empire’s dreams, no longer stand,
A broken crown, no guiding hand.

4:27
The dawn of freedom now takes hold,
The chains of monarchy grow cold.
But from this fall, a nation’s rise,
Underneath new, hopeful skies.

GUITAR SOLO

4:56
The royal court now fades away,
But history won’t soon decay.
The broken crown, a symbol torn,
Of battles fought and futures born.

5:08
The crown may break, but hope remains!
The emperor’s line now fades from view,
But dreams of freedom grew and grew.
The crown’s remains may never shine,
But from its fall, a world divine.

5:30
The Crown has fallen!
A monarch lost, an age undone,
An empire fading with the sun.
From golden halls to exile’s shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.

5:57
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdom’s chained.
Once a crown upon a king,
Now just a shattered, distant thing.
