INTRO (0:00-0:20)
(Distant church bells, then a haunting violin melody)
[Vocalist 1, breathy + echoing]
"Stone walls weep... shadows creep...
The throne calls... but I can’t sleep..."
[Subtle bassline creeps in, like a heartbeat in the dark]
VERSE 1 (0:20-0:50)
[Vocalist 2, melancholic]
"Once there was a crown of gold and starlight bright
Now it’s wrapped in thorns that cut into the night
My kingdom fell to a curse I couldn’t break
Every step I take, the shadows start to wake
Moonlight turns to ash in my hands
Forgotten names echo through the lands"
PRE-CHORUS (0:50-1:10)
[All vocalists, building tension — strings swell]
"I walk the halls where ghosts still dance
Chasing a throne that’s lost to chance
The dark wants to claim me, make me its own
But I’ll fight for the shadow throne..."
CHORUS (1:10-1:45)
[Dramatic drop — orchestral drums + dark synth]
"SHADOW THRONE, shadow throne — where the cursed souls roam
SHADOW THRONE, shadow throne — I’m the heir alone
Black roses bloom from the cold stone floor
I’ll wear the darkness like a crown and ask for more
[Violin solo weaves through the beat, then a low, guttural synth hit]
RAP VERSE (1:45-2:15)
[Rapper, slow + menacing — voice layered with reverb]
"Listen close — the curse speaks in whispers low
Says "give up your light, let the darkness grow"
But I’m the one who holds the key to the crypt
Where the old king’s bones and secrets sit
Shadows claw at my skin, but I don’t flinch
Gonna take back the throne, even if it’s a sin
Every shadow is a soldier in my cause
Gonna rule this darkness with no pause"
PRE-CHORUS 2 (2:15-2:35)
[Vocalist 1, more powerful — choir joins in]
"I walk the halls where ghosts still dance
Chasing a throne that’s lost to chance
The dark wants to claim me, make me its own
But I am the shadow throne..."
CHORUS 2 (2:35-3:10)
[Even more intense — choir harmonies + heavy drums]
"SHADOW THRONE, shadow throne — where the cursed souls roam
SHADOW THRONE, shadow throne — I’m the heir alone
Black roses bloom from the cold stone floor
I’ll wear the darkness like a crown and ask for more
[Extended orchestral break — cellos, violins, and a hint of organ create a sense of grand despair]
BRIDGE (3:10-3:30)
[Stripped-back — just piano + vulnerable vocals]
[Vocalist 2, quiet + raw]
"Did I choose the darkness... or did it choose me?
The throne is mine... but at what cost, I see...
The shadows are part of me now — we’re one
Forever ruling from the shadowed sun..."
OUTRO (3:30-3:40)
[Violin melody from intro returns, fades with church bells]
[Vocalist 1, echoing]
"Shadow throne... I’m home..."
[Final, soft piano note fades to silence]
