[0:00 – 0:30 | OST Intro – Low Strings + Hollow Footsteps]
(echoing empty throne room)
I built a kingdom from bones…
And called it hope…
(distant wind through broken halls)
⸻
[0:31 – 1:05 | Verse 1 – Vendrick / Deep & Measured]
I was a king before the rot
Before the curse, before the plot
Giants marched, but I did not
See the war that I had bought
I chased a whisper in the dark
A queen with eyes like a dying spark
Promised strength, promised mark
Left a fracture in my heart
Raised my walls against the sky
Sent my soldiers there to die
Called it glory, called it try
Never asked myself why
Now the throne room cold as stone
Every victory overthrown
Crown feels heavier alone
When the truth is known
(footsteps dragging)
⸻
[1:06 – 1:34 | Chorus 1 – Somber / Heavy]
King without a crown
Lost but never found
Built it up just to drown
In decay
When the banners fade (fade)
And the debts are paid (paid)
What remains
Of a king?
⸻
[1:35 – 1:58 | OST Break – Slow Drum Pulse + Echoed Choir]
(memory fragments echoing)
Nashandra…
⸻
[1:59 – 2:35 | Verse 2 – Rising Emotion / Faster]
She fed the fear I kept inside
Told me giants had to die
Told me strength would multiply
If I reached high
I crossed the sea for hollow pride
Left my people to the tide
Now I wander, eyes dried
From what I tried to hide
I sealed the throne behind a door
Wouldn’t sit there anymore
What’s a king who fears his core?
Nothing more
No dragon slain, no god defied
Just a man who let it slide
Watched his kingdom petrified
While he slowly died
(voice cracking)
⸻
[2:36 – 3:05 | Chorus 2 – Bigger / Emotional]
King without a crown
Shadow of renown
Memory unwound
In decay
When the fire dies (dies)
And the truth arrives (arrives)
You survive
As a ghost
⸻
[3:06 – 3:25 | Metal Build – Guitar Enters Slow & Heavy]
(heartbeat turns into drum kick)
⸻
[3:26 – 3:55 | Breakdown – Scream Rap / Raw Regret]
I FOUGHT A WAR I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
BUILT A THRONE ON SHIFTING SAND
TRUSTED A VOICE THAT HELD MY HAND
AND LED ME TO A FALLEN LAND
NO HERO’S END — NO FINAL STAND
JUST HOLLOW STEPS ACROSS THE SAND
A KING WHO COULDN’T TAKE COMMAND
OF HIS OWN DAMN HAND
(guitar sustains)
⸻
[3:56 – 4:20 | Final Chorus – Quiet / Resigned]
King without a crown
No more solid ground
Lost but still around
In decay
If you take my throne
Make it your own
Don’t walk alone…
Like I did.
⸻
[4:21 – 4:35 | Outro – Single Piano Note + Wind]
(footsteps continue endlessly)
He never sits.
He never speaks.
Just walks.
