PRINCE OF PURE BLACK [Intro — Whispered, Deep Male Voice] There was a world… Where the sun never rose. No stars. No moon. No warmth. Nothing… But black. And somewhere in that endless darkness… A prince was born. [Beat drops] They called him… The King of the Void. [Verse 1] Born where the shadows swallow every sound, No sky above him, no sun around. Opened his eyes but there was nothing to see, Just endless black staring back at eternity. No mother’s face, no father’s embrace, No loving hands ever held him in place. A crown made of darkness was placed on his head, While a kingdom of silence surrounded his bed. He learned how to walk where the dead winds blow, Learned how to speak but had nowhere to go. Every throne needs a kingdom, every king needs a friend, But his kingdom had no beginning or end. [Pre-Hook] Does he cry when nobody’s near? Does he know what it means to feel fear? Maybe somewhere beneath that crown, There’s a lonely little prince who just wants someone around. [Hook — Haunting, Heavy] Born alone in pure night. With no light, is he sad or is he glad? No one will ever know. Without any glow of light, there is only fright. He is the Prince of pure black, Born royalty, ruler of the void. Prince of pure black, Where every hope gets destroyed. [Verse 2] His castle stands where the shadows never fade, Black marble halls where the silence was made. Candles burn but they give no flame, Every servant is a shadow with no face or name. He wears his crown but it weighs like chains, Every jewel is a memory carved from pain. He could command every darkness to bend, But what good is power when you’ve got no friend? He hears distant voices from worlds full of light, People laughing underneath their blue skies. He reaches his hand but the voices disappear, And the darkness reminds him nobody’s here. [Pre-Hook] Does he dream of a morning sun? Does he wonder what warmth feels like when it comes? Or does he smile underneath that crown, Because darkness is the only home he’s ever known? [Hook — Bigger, Layered Vocals] Born alone in pure night. With no light, is he sad or is he glad? No one will ever know. Without any glow of light, there is only fright. He is the Prince of pure black, Born royalty, ruler of the void. Prince of pure black, Where every hope gets destroyed. [Bridge — Slow, Melancholic] Maybe he doesn’t hate the light… Maybe he’s just never seen it. Maybe he doesn’t want the throne… Maybe he just doesn’t want to be alone. If darkness is all that you’ve ever known, Can you miss something you’ve never owned? [Beat cuts out] If the sun finally touched his face… Would he run? Or would he cry? [Final Verse — Dark Trap Flow] King of a kingdom nobody can find, Lord of the shadows with a fractured mind. Black crown tilted, staring at the floor, He’s conquered everything but still wants more. Not more power. Not more gold. Not another kingdom for him to control. Just one voice… Calling his name. One hand… Breaking through the rain. But nobody comes. Nobody knows. So deeper he walks where the blackness grows. A prince without sunlight, A king without dawn, A ruler of nothing, Still carrying on. [Final Hook — Epic / Choir + Deep Vocal] Born alone in pure night. With no light, is he sad or is he glad? No one will ever know. Without any glow of light, there is only fright. He is the Prince of pure black, Born royalty, ruler of the void. Born alone in pure night… Crowned beneath an empty sky… Prince of pure black… King of the void… [Outro — Whisper] He was never afraid of the dark. The dark was all he ever knew. Maybe that’s why… he’s afraid of the light.
