Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Crows on the crown Iron gates sigh Ash on the banners Black in the sky Statues still breathing Under their stone Every bell ringing Over bone Over bone [Chorus] Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Every vow still carved in red Raise your cups to the rust and rot We remember what time forgot Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Hear the oath in every tread We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive Cursed to stand Cursed to live [Verse 2] Thorns in the throne room Roots in the hall Vines hold the portraits Pinned to the wall Children of famine Never grow thin Cracks in their faces But never giving in [Chorus] Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Every vow still carved in red Raise your cups to the rust and rot We remember what time forgot Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Hear the oath in every tread We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive Cursed to stand Cursed to live [Bridge] We prayed for mercy Mercy came late Sealed our last heartbeat Into the gate Now every sunrise Feels like revenge Year after year That never ends (never ends) [Chorus] Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Every vow still carved in red Raise your cups to the rust and rot We remember what time forgot Long live the kingdom that won’t stay dead Hear the oath in every tread We don’t sleep and we don’t forgive Cursed to stand Cursed to live

Cinematic dark fantasy ballad with male vocals over minor-key strings, low choirs, and distant war drums; verses intimate and hushed with harp and subtle cello, chorus swelling into powerful layered vocals and heavy toms, bridge drops to near-whisper before final chorus erupts with choir and thunderous percussion
