[Intro – Low distorted hum]
You look like I used to.
That’s the problem.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Controlled emptiness]
You step through ash like you still care,
Like hope still lingers in the air,
Like this world’s something you can repair —
It isn’t.
I stood where you are once before,
Blade in hand, heart at war,
Believed there was something worth fighting for —
There wasn’t.
Seven graves beneath this sky,
Darius’ oath where iron died,
Seris’ flame that blackened wide —
I remember.
You see a monster in my stance,
But I see circumstance,
One step wrong in grief’s expanse —
And here I am.
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Heavy, dominant]
No throne left to burn for me,
No gods left to turn to me,
This black sun learned from me —
And stayed.
You still carry red inside,
Still think there’s a side to side,
But I’ve already watched that die —
In flames.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rising menace]
You call this void corruption,
I call it interruption,
Of endless war and false redemption —
It ends here.
I didn’t choose to be this crown,
I just refused to kneel down,
When the world collapsed around —
I stood.
You think you’re here to save me?
To break what fate has made me?
Look closer — I’m what saved me —
From breaking.
The black sun doesn’t scream,
It doesn’t beg, it doesn’t dream,
It simply burns between —
What’s left.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Darker]
No throne left to burn tonight,
No mercy left in sight,
If you think you’re here to fight —
Then fight.
You carry hope like it’s armor still,
But hope bends slow to iron will,
And iron breaks when forced to feel —
Too much.
⸻
[Bridge – FULL SCREAM BREAKDOWN]
(Guitars slam hard, double kick)
YOU SEE A MONSTER —
I SEE TRUTH.
YOU SEE A CURSE —
I SEE PROOF.
I BURIED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE
SO YOU WOULDN’T HAVE TO.
(SCREAM)
I AM THE BLACK KNIGHT THAT STANDS — NOW BURN!
(Guitar chugs continue)
COME AND TRY TO SAVE ME.
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Final dominance]
No throne left, no crown to claim,
Only ash and only flame,
If you think we’re not the same —
You’re wrong.
Red sun flickers in your chest,
Black sun steady in my breath,
If one of us must face what’s next —
It won’t be me.
⸻
[Outro – Duel ignition]
He draws his blade.
Not in anger.
In certainty.
