Verse 1
Rain was falling on the city,
Neon lights were turning red.
She was standing in the silence,
While the streets whispered, "He's dead."
Then she looked into my eyes.
No fear. No place to hide.
Everyone else lowered their heads...
She was the first who held my sight.
Pre-Chorus
She didn't know my name.
She didn't know my face.
She only saw a lonely man
Behind a king no one could save.
Chorus
They call me the king of the underworld,
A devil dressed in black.
I built my throne on broken hearts,
There's no way to take it back.
But then she walked into my war,
Like daylight through the night.
The world wanted her dead...
So I swore I'd win the fight.
That's the promise.
That's the price.
I'll burn the world to keep her alive.
Verse 2
One old painting held the secret,
One forgotten family name.
Every hunter started searching,
Every street burst into flames.
I told her, "Stay behind me.
Don't ask what I've become."
Because every enemy I ever made
Would kill her just for fun.
Pre-Chorus
She said, "You don't have to fight alone."
No one had said that before.
For the first time in my whole damn life...
I wanted something more.
Chorus
They call me the king of the underworld,
A devil dressed in black.
I built my throne on broken hearts,
There's no way to take it back.
But then she walked into my war,
Like daylight through the night.
The world wanted her dead...
So I swore I'd win the fight.
That's the promise.
That's the price.
I'll burn the world to keep her alive.
Bridge
Every scar has got a story.
Every bullet knows my name.
I survived a thousand battles...
Love was something I couldn't tame.
Now they're coming for my kingdom.
Now they're coming for my soul.
If they want the woman that I love...
They'll have to bury us both.
Final Chorus
They call me the king of the underworld,
The monster they all fear.
But every empire built on blood
Starts breaking when she's here.
Let the city fall to ashes.
Let the darkness take the sky.
A king can lose his crown forever...
But I'll never let her die.
That's our promise.
That's our fate.
Written forever in a blood oath.
Outro
Once I ruled with fear alone...
Now I fight to bring her home.
