Queen of the Fae, Empty Throne

Dreamy chamber-pop ballad with a stumbling, syncopated groove; harp and celeste dancing around an off-kilter snare, warm upright bass, and soft brushed kit, Female vocals with close, intimate verses; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy pads, and distant choral echoes, Bridge strips back to harp and voice before a final, swelling refrain and lingering, reverberant outro

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] Bare feet on a crooked stone Crowns tilt But I stand alone Seven names in a ring of moss Each one tasted like frost Like loss I learned every heartbeat’s trick Slow Then racing Then gone too quick Called them closer with sugar and smoke Kissed their courage Left their hope [Chorus] I am the Queen of the Fae And I keep what drifts away Every love I ever owned Burned to blue Then turned to bone I set the table Gold and green But I dine on could‑have‑been Raise a glass to what won’t stay To the loves lost by the Queen of the Fae [Verse 2] First one swore he would never fade Got drunk on the games I played Second tried to rewrite the rules Soft hands Soft eyes Old fool Third one followed a song too far Couldn’t tell my wish from a scar Fourth laughed Thought he’d break the spell Left his laughter Took his shell [Chorus] I am the Queen of the Fae And I keep what drifts away Every love I ever owned Burned to blue Then turned to bone I set the table Gold and green But I dine on could‑have‑been Raise a glass to what won’t stay To the loves lost by the Queen of the Fae [Bridge] Fifth was quiet Just held my hand (oh) Sixth saw straight through every glam Seventh never once looked back Walked out through the bramble track [Chorus] I am the Queen of the Fae Still I watch them slip away Every love I ever owned Names I carved in ancient stone Feast is ready Halls still gleam But I starve on used‑to‑be Hear the toast in shades of gray To the loves lost by the Queen of the Fae
