[Intro — distant metallic textures, filtered acid pulse slowly emerging from the center; wide empty stereo field] [Verse 1 — dry lead vocal centered and close; solid four-on-the-floor kick and mono acid bass; short metallic percussion flickers between left and right] Wind knows my name Ash still remains Ground remembers All the scars, all the stains They dimmed the sky They killed the light I broke the clock I own the night Crown still burns Beneath my skin No wall can hold What wakes within Steel and gold Come stake your claim Let them come I’ll meet the flame [Chorus — full stereo expansion; lead vocal centered and commanding; acid synth opens wide; layered chant vocals spread left and right; heavy kick and bass remain centered] The king is rising Bar the doors, it’s far too late The king is rising Steel and gold decide their fate Crown of fire Blood and thunder call This is the hour Watch the lost ones fall [Verse 2 — pull back to a tighter stereo field; close vocal; acid bass becomes more active and rhythmic; metallic hits jump across the stereo image] Wind holds still Ash hangs there Sparks ignite Cutting the air Fist meets steel Before the sound Chrome feathers fall Across the ground He grips the wing Steel starts to divide Feathers come loose Torn from its side One clean strike Gold cracks like glass Neon fades Falling to ash [Chorus — wider and more aggressive; acid line rises in pitch and intensity; backing chants surround the lead from both sides] The king is rising Bar the doors, it’s far too late The king is rising Steel and gold decide their fate Crown of fire Blood and thunder call This is the hour Watch the lost ones fall [Instrumental — extended acid dance break; no lead vocal; 303-style sequence moves across the stereo field while kick and sub bass stay centered; metallic percussion circles around the listener; filter gradually opens] [Bridge — kick reduced or briefly removed; vocal extremely close and dry; distant acid pulse remains behind; metallic textures slowly move from far left and right toward center] Wings won’t rise Gold turns cold Both remember What was foretold They turn away Broken, not undone He does not chase The hunt has just begun [Final Chorus — maximum width and intensity; full four-on-the-floor returns; huge acid sequence; stacked chant vocals surround the lead; metallic impacts at extreme sides] I am coming Bar the doors, it’s far too late The king is rising Steel and gold decide their fate Crown of fire Blood and thunder call This is the hour Watch the lost ones fall [Outro — kick and bass cut abruptly; acid filter continues briefly in the distance; final metallic resonance fades into silence] The night swallows the fire. “…Stronger than before.” [End — final voice dry and centered, then immediate silence]
