“Shadows of the Same Blood”
Verse 1 – The Husband
(dark, commanding vocals, heavy guitars)
My husband claims that he built this kingdom, stone by stone,
A queen beside him, yet still alone.
—She was mine to rule, mine to break,
Her tears the price, my crown to take.
My brother stares with jealous eyes,
But she is chained, she can’t defy.
In this castle, I am king—
And she will bow to everything.
⸻
Chorus – All voices, layered
Shadows of the same blood, tearing us apart.
A crown of iron, a bleeding heart.
One holds the whip, the other the flame,
We’re bound by love, by hate, by shame.
⸻
Verse 2 – The Wife
(soaring, emotional, trembling then rising with power)
I gave my vows, I gave my years,
Buried my voice, drowned in my fears.
Every night, the silence screams,
Every bruise erases dreams.
But in his eyes, I see the dawn,
A place where I could still belong.
Though fate may damn, though sin may burn,
To him alone, my soul returns.
⸻
Chorus –
Shadows of the same blood, tearing us apart.
A crown of iron, a bleeding heart.
One holds the whip, the other the flame,
We’re bound by love, by hate, by shame.
⸻
Verse 3 – The Brother
(gritty, torn, anguished, with heavy drums behind)
I never sought to steal her soul,
But love is fire, it takes control.
I see her pain, I see her scars,
I’d trade my life to make her stars.
But he’s my blood, my brother still,
Bound by ties I cannot kill.
I walk the edge of wrong and right,
But she’s the reason I still fight.
⸻
Bridge – Wife & Brother (duet)
(soft at first, building into a storm)
Wife: I asked, “Save me, save me from this throne…”
Brother: he promises I’ll tear the chains, you won’t stand alone.”
Together: “Even if the world condemns,
We’ll find our truth beyond the end.”
⸻
Final Chorus – All three voices colliding
Shadows of the same blood, tearing us apart.
A crown of iron, a bleeding heart.
One wields the cruelty, one holds the grace,
One dies in darkness, one lights her escape.
Shadows of the same blood—
Forever cursed, forever loved.
