[A massive hall of obsidian and moonlight. Noctem stands atop a dais, arms raised. Shadows ripple like subjects at his feet.] [Verse 1] Let them build their halls of stone, With banners stitched from broken oaths. Let them bow to names they never chose— We are done being ghosts. [Verse 2] You, the lost, the cast aside, The cursed, the shunned, the ones denied— You are mine now. Raise your eyes— For I am where your future lies. [Pre-Chorus] They never saw us, never will… So we will rise beyond their will. [Chorus] This is the kingdom I build— Not with chains, but with will. Where no voice is too small, And no heart stands still. Where the outcast wears the crown, And the silence breaks its sound— They’ll know the pain they tried to kill… In the kingdom I build. [The shadows pulse brighter, the room shifts — alive with dark magic. He walks through them like a prophet.] [Verse 3] Let them laugh behind their gold, Let them choke on every tale they told. While they rot in stagnant grace, We carve new stars into this place. [Bridge] Not vengeance—no, not spite— But justice wrapped in deepest night. If light forgot us, so be it… We are the dawn they’ll come to fear. [Chorus – Reprise] This is the kingdom I build— Stone by oath, and blood by will. Where broken names are stitched anew, Where even shadows dare break through. Where the meek become the flame, And I — the curse they dared not name. No gods, no kings, no fate fulfilled… Only the kingdom I build. [He lifts his hands. The shadows kneel.] [Outro – Spoken over fading music] Remember this: They called me forgotten. You will call me… forever.
