[Intro] [whispered, velvet-soft female vocals] Come closer, Captain. Close the door. Tonight, there are no guards, no court, no crown. Only you… and me. [Verse 1] [intimate female vocals] You kneel before me, steel at your side, Your oath held true, your trembling denied. You won't meet my eyes, as though wanting me were death, Yet your pulse betrays you with every breath. You call me Your Majesty, But tonight I want the man beneath— Not the servant, Not the sword. [Pre-Chorus] [soft, breathy female vocals] Your hands are steady— Your breathing isn't. Your voice is calm— Your eyes have given you away. [Chorus] [emotional female vocals] Lay down your honor, Captain. Let the kingdom wait. You've wanted me longer than you've dared confess, And I've wanted you just as long. Don't hide behind your oath tonight. I'm not asking for loyalty— I'm asking you to love me As a woman, not your queen. [Verse 2] [intimate female vocals] I could command you. One word, and you'd have to stay. But I don't want obedience. I want you to choose me— To step beyond your armor And cross the distance yourself. Come closer. Your body answers faster than your honor. You can deny me with your mouth, But every breath tells the truth. How many nights have you lingered at my door, Pretending duty was the reason? How many times have you watched me Then looked away before I caught you? [Pre-Chorus] [building intensity, female vocals] Don't tell me you never dreamed of this. Don't tell me you never wondered. I know that look. I've worn it myself. [Chorus] [powerful female vocals] Lay down your honor, Captain. Let the crown fall silent tonight. Let the kingdom keep its perfect queen— I only want to be your woman. Take what I'm offering freely Before courage becomes regret. Forget the code and vows that keep us apart. Love me without the title. Love me without fear. Love me because I am here. [Bridge] [stripped, quiet female vocals] Please… Just once. Put down the sword. Put down the oath. Put down every reason You've invented to keep from me. I know what you feel. I know you're afraid. But I am afraid too— Afraid tomorrow you'll stand beside me, Call me Your Majesty, And pretend tonight never happened. So look at me. Not your queen. Me. The woman who has loved you From the other side of every throne room. [Final Chorus] [enormous orchestral rise, soaring female vocals] Lay down your honor, Captain— Please, don't make me ask again. I've offered you my heart, my body, My crown, my name. Take my hand and cross the distance. Let the kingdom disappear. I don't want your oath. I want you. Love me not as your queen— Love me as the woman who loves you. [Outro] [music falls almost completely silent] [spoken, low male vocals] Forgive me, Your Majesty. [spoken, low male vocals] I cannot. [soft spoken female vocals] I understand. [pause] [calm spoken female vocals] Captain… you may rise. [whispered female vocals] Guards. [cold, almost serene spoken female vocals] At dawn, execute him.
