[Intro – Quiet chapel reverb]
I swore to the throne…
I swore to my brother…
Which oath survives?
⸻
[Verse 1 – Darius POV, heavy internal conflict]
Shield feels heavier than before,
Cracks running through the core,
Marble stained from civil war,
Don’t know what I’m fighting for.
Kael stands crowned in blackened flame,
Not the boy I used to train,
But I still see him through the change —
And that’s what causes pain.
The king behind me shakes with fear,
Calls it justice, calls it clear,
But every order I now hear
Sounds hollow in my ears.
Lucien says the gods are gone,
Mira prays but faith feels wrong,
If heaven’s silent this long —
Who leads us on?
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Emotional but powerful]
No gods left to guide us,
No light left beside us,
If loyalty divides us —
Who do I defend?
Seven under blackened sky,
One is wrong, one is right,
But if I choose to fight —
I lose a friend.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Tension building]
Kael steps forward, calm and cold,
Black flame steady, controlled,
Says, “The throne has bought and sold
Every life we hold.”
I raise my shield but hands still shake,
Not from fear — from what’s at stake,
If I strike him for the crown’s sake —
It’s a mistake.
Seris’ death between us stands,
Silver ash in both our hands,
He whispers, “You still understand.”
And damn it — I do.
But order built my every breath,
Iron oath until my death,
If I betray it now — what’s left?
Just guilt and truth.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Harder]
No gods left to answer,
Only kings and cancer,
If power breeds disaster —
Then why protect it?
Seven flames but one burns black,
If I turn there’s no way back,
If I let the crown attack —
I regret it.
⸻
[Bridge – Metal Rap Breakdown]
(Guitars slam, drums fast)
WHAT IS HONOR
WHEN HONOR LIES?
WHAT IS TRUTH
WHEN TRUTH DIVIDES?
I BUILT MY NAME
ON IRON WILL
NOW IRON BENDS
AND I STAND STILL.
BROTHER —
DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE.
(SCREAM)
DON’T MAKE ME LOSE YOU.
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Devastating]
No gods left — just us,
No heaven left to trust,
If I swing or if I don’t —
Blood still spills.
Seven under fractured throne,
Two stand here alone,
If loyalty turns to stone —
Then something breaks.
⸻
[Outro – Cliffhanger]
Kael lowers his blade…
Just slightly.
I tighten my grip…
Just barely.
And the black sun watches
ShadowSing
