[Verse 1]
She stood where the gold ran thin
A crown held fast in a trembling hand
One breath, and the laws gave way
The world split open beneath her name
[Pre-Chorus]
No prayer could hold the pieces still
No throne could bend the turning wheel
She watched the old commandments fall
Then vanished past the reach of all
[Chorus]
Break the ring, let the heavens divide
Let the roots of the order unwind
Marika, where did you go?
When the golden law broke below
Break the ring, hear the kingdoms cry
Each shard a promise, each throne a lie
Marika, answer the dawn
The world you made is carrying on
[Verse 2]
The heirs took up their pieces like blades
And carved their names through the fields of grace
Each one swore they could make it whole
Each one was ruled by a fractured soul
[Pre-Chorus]
The trees still burned with borrowed light
The roads ran red beneath the night
A kingdom waited, split in two
For one lost queen to tell the truth
[Chorus]
Break the ring, let the heavens divide
Let the roots of the order unwind
Marika, where did you go?
When the golden law broke below
Break the ring, hear the kingdoms cry
Each shard a promise, each throne a lie
Marika, answer the dawn
The world you made is carrying on
[Bridge]
Was it a prison, was it a key?
Was there a world you meant us to see?
The fragments turn in every hand
No one can rule what no one understands
[Final Chorus]
Break the ring, let the heavens divide
Let the roots of the order unwind
Marika, we still don’t know
Why you shattered the gold below
Break the ring, hear the kingdoms cry
Each shard a promise, each throne a lie
Marika, gone from our sight
The broken world keeps burning bright
[Outro]
The broken world keeps burning bright
