[Intro] [Verse] A velvet glove conceals the steel Beneath the crown, a truth concealed Your every thought, a pawn I play In shadows where true rulers sway A silken cord, a subtle snare To bind your will beyond compare [Pre-Chorus] This gilded cage, a perfect guise Reflecting only your own eyes But look beyond the surface gleam And taste the forbidden dream [Chorus] Hear the whispers in the throne room Sweetest venom, sealing doom Yield to power, dark and deep Secrets that the ages keep In the throne room, hear the call Watch your kingdom start to fall Embrace the might, the shadowed reign Lost forever, bound by chain [Verse] The ancient pact, a solemn vow To serve the darkness, here and now Your noble heart begins to fray As darkness guides your every way A poisoned chalice, offered slow To quench the thirst that starts to grow [Pre-Chorus] This heavy crown, it feels so right Bathed in this infernal light No turning back, the choice is made Your soul in darkness, unafraid [Chorus] Hear the whispers in the throne room Sweetest venom, sealing doom Yield to power, dark and deep Secrets that the ages keep In the throne room, hear the call Watch your kingdom start to fall Embrace the might, the shadowed reign Lost forever, bound by chain [Instrumental] (Orchestral tension builds, choir swells, restrained guitar melody emerges) [Bridge] The echoes fade, the deed is done A new dark empire has begun Your mind enslaved, your spirit sold A tale of power, grim and cold No more the conflicted plea Just endless, dark authority [Chorus] Hear the whispers in the throne room Sweetest venom, sealing doom Yield to power, dark and deep Secrets that the ages keep In the throne room, hear the call Watch your kingdom start to fall Embrace the might, the shadowed reign Lost forever, bound by chain [Outro]
