A Crown of Seven Suns Lyrics – ​Seven Lions

Seven Lions is pulling us into a cosmic haze with Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, his second full-length dropping December 12 on Ophelia Records, and A Crown of Seven Suns hits like a fleeting supernova—brief, blazing, and begging you to chase its glow.

This one’s a quick interlude at just 42 seconds, pure Seven Lions essence in melodic dubstep form: ethereal synths rising like embers, a single vocal line cutting through the void with that signature build-and-release tension. No big drops here, just a whisper of trance-infused electronic that feels like a bridge between worlds—think orchestral swells meeting glitchy undercurrents, all at a steady 128 BPM pulse. Thematically, it nods to rebirth amid ruin, evoking a regal defiance where seven suns crown a shadowed realm, tying into the album’s undercurrent of isolation and inner fire. It’s less a full track and more a poetic breath, hinting at vulnerability wrapped in grandeur, the kind of moment that lingers long after it fades.

Slotting in as track five on Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, it punctuates the record’s 11-song journey through emotional wastelands. The album opens with the sprawling title track, a five-minute odyssey of ambient introspection, then dives into heartbreak anthems like Breaking Me and the brooding Delusional with No/Me. By the Light of the Moon brings Kerli’s haunting vocals for resilience-in-the-dark vibes, leading straight into this crown moment before From Beyond ramps up the intensity. Later highlights include So Far Away with Lilly Ahlberg, HALIENE’s icy Cold as Snow, Oaks on Past You, Kerli returning for Thrice Woven, and Fiora’s Breathe It Out Slowly to close on a sigh of release. It’s a concept piece at heart, Seven Lions’ way of carving out space in EDM’s chaos—reclaiming melody and myth from the noise, with collabs that feel like chosen family rather than trends.

Word from his socials and recent interviews paints this as a turning point: after years dominating festivals with collabs like Worlds Apart and Creation, he’s stepping back to solo territory, channeling that out-of-place feeling in the industry into something fiercely personal. No guest on this track, just him owning the silence between stars, evolving from arena-shaking bangers to these intimate, starlit confessions that remind us why his sound always feels like home.
