Lyrics: "The Broken Crown"
1:11
In eighteen eighty-nine it broke,
The crown shattered beneath the stroke.
Of revolutionβs winds so strong,
The empire couldnβt last for long.
1:24
The emperorβs fall, the court displaced,
The royal line, its future faced.
Republicβs dawn upon the land,
The broken crown slips from their hand.
1:40
The Crown has fallen!
A monarch lost, an age undone,
Of revolutionβs winds so strong,
The empire couldnβt last for long.
2:00
The emperorβs fall, the court displaced,
The royal line, its future faced.
Republicβs 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 exileβs shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.
2:34
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdomβs 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 libertyβs 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 exileβs shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.
3:54
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdomβs 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 empireβs 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 nationβs rise,
Underneath new, hopeful skies.
GUITAR SOLO
4:56
The royal court now fades away,
But history wonβt soon decay.
The broken crown, a symbol torn,
Of battles fought and futures born.
5:08
The crown may break, but hope remains!
The emperorβs line now fades from view,
But dreams of freedom grew and grew.
The crownβs 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 exileβs shore,
A broken crown reigns no more.
5:57
Break the chains!
A throne dethroned, a legacy stained,
The people's cry, the kingdomβs chained.
Once a crown upon a king,
Now just a shattered, distant thing.
