[Intro]

[Verse]
Beneath the crown, a shadow lies
A pact of whispers, veiled in lies
The queen believes my counsel true
She trusts the darkness I imbue
(Pipe organ swells, strings enter)
Each word a serpent, softly spun
Until the final victory’s won

[Pre-Chorus]
A fragile peace, a gilded cage
I turn the prophecy’s dark page
Her faith, a jewel I shall take
For my own dark dominion’s sake

[Chorus]
"I pledge my life, my sword, my soul!"
My loyalty, beyond control!
But in my heart, a storm I brew
To lead this kingdom, broken, through
A promised dawn, a burning pyre
Fueled by my venomous desire!

[Verse]
The whispers grow in shadowed halls
As ancient power softly calls
Each loyal subject, blind and meek
Will serve the future I do seek

[Pre-Chorus]
A fragile peace, a gilded cage
I turn the prophecy’s dark page
(Guitars accent, growing louder)
Her faith, a jewel I shall take
For my own dark dominion’s sake

[Chorus]
"I pledge my life, my sword, my soul!"
My loyalty, beyond control!
But in my heart, a storm I brew
To lead this kingdom, broken, through
A promised dawn, a burning pyre
Fueled by my venomous desire!

[Bridge]
From dusty scrolls, the words arise
Of sleeping gods and ancient skies
"When shadows lengthen, truth shall bend,
And chosen servants shall transcend!"
A chilling power, cold and deep
While innocence is lulled to sleep

[Breakdown]

[Chorus]
"I pledge my life, my sword, my soul!"
My loyalty, beyond control!
But in my heart, a storm I brew
To lead this kingdom, broken, through
A promised dawn, a burning pyre
Fueled by my venomous desire!

[Outro]
