# Princess of the Black Throne **[Intro — Whispered, distant bells, low choir]** They told you never to enter the palace. They told you the princess was cursed. They told you she was cruel. Possessive. Dangerous. They were right. **[Verse 1]** Black roses bloom where my footsteps fall, demons kneel when I cross the hall. A crown of thorns rests above my eyes, while crimson lightning splits the skies. I’ve had princes crawl across the floor, kings beg mercy outside my door. But then you came through the gates alone... And suddenly, I didn’t want a kingdom. I wanted **you**. **[Pre-Chorus]** One little heartbeat. One mortal soul. One tiny weakness I cannot control. The court keeps whispering: “Your Highness, beware.” But every time you smile at me... I stop caring. **[Chorus]** I’M THE PRINCESS OF THE BLACK THRONE! QUEEN-TO-BE OF BLOOD AND BONE! DEMON FIRE BENEATH MY SKIN— DON’T YOU DARE LET SOMEONE ELSE IN! I’ll tear the stars from heaven’s gates! I’ll rewrite prophecy! Rewrite fate! Let angels fall! Let kingdoms die! I’ll burn creation if you say goodbye! My heart is wicked! My love insane! Say my name and feed the flame! You stepped into my world tonight... Now you belong beside me for the rest of time. **[Verse 2]** I gave you chambers next to mine, filled with velvet, gold, and wine. Your favourite flowers bloom all year. Funny. I never asked what flowers you liked. I already knew. I know your habits. I know your fears. I know the names you whisper in your sleep. And whoever that name belonged to... doesn’t matter anymore. **[Pre-Chorus]** You said I watch you far too much. Impossible. You said I follow every step. Of course. You said you wanted privacy. ... Darling. You’re dating a demon princess. Privacy was never included. **[Chorus]** I’M THE PRINCESS OF THE BLACK THRONE! QUEEN-TO-BE OF BLOOD AND BONE! DEMON FIRE BENEATH MY SKIN— DON’T YOU DARE LET SOMEONE ELSE IN! I’ll tear the stars from heaven’s gates! I’ll rewrite prophecy! Rewrite fate! Let angels fall! Let kingdoms die! I’ll burn creation if you say goodbye! My heart is wicked! My love insane! Say my name and feed the flame! You stepped into my world tonight... Now you belong beside me for the rest of time. **[Bridge — Soft / sweet]** Come here. Sit beside me. No... closer. Closer. That’s better. See? I’m not frightening. I can be sweet. I can be gentle. I can even pretend I’m not listening to your heartbeat speed up every time I touch you. **[Whisper]** Cute. **[Bridge — Darker]** But someone sent you a letter today. A love letter. Three pages. Poor handwriting. Very emotional. I read it twice. Then I burned it. Then I burned the desk it touched. Then I burned the room. I may have... overreacted. A little. **[Heavy drums]** He won’t write again. **[Breakdown — Demon choir]** MINE IN THE FIRE! MINE IN THE NIGHT! MINE WHEN THE MOON TURNS BLOOD-RED AND WHITE! MINE IN THE PALACE! MINE IN THE FLAME! MINE WHEN A THOUSAND LOST SOULS SCREAM YOUR NAME! **[Verse 3 — Fast, chaotic]** My father says I’m unstable! My mother says I’ve changed! The royal guard avoids me! The servants think I’m strange! The priest threw holy water! The wizard drew a seal! I laughed until the windows cracked— because none of them understand how love should feel! I sent the suitors home in coffins! I chained the portal shut! I placed a curse around your doorway! Maybe that was slightly much. But what if someone steals you? What if someone makes you leave? What if you wake tomorrow and decide... you don’t need me? **[Music cuts]** No. No. No no no no no. We’re not thinking about that. **[Low growl]** That future doesn’t exist. **[Final Chorus — Huge gothic orchestra]** I AM THE PRINCESS OF THE BLACK THRONE! AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE! LET HEAVEN RAGE! LET HELL REPLY! I’LL FIGHT THEM BOTH BEFORE GOODBYE! Let angels draw their silver blades! Let demons rise from burning graves! Let every god declare me wrong— I’LL STILL BE HERE WHEN THEY ARE GONE! MY LOVE IS DARK! MY LOVE IS TRUE! MY WHOLE DAMNED WORLD REVOLVES AROUND YOU! No prophecy! No death! No fate! CAN TAKE YOU FROM YOUR DEMON MATE! So wear this ring. Stand beside me. Smile for the court. Pretend everything is normal. And please... don’t try running again. **[Outro — Music box / whisper]** The palace gates are locked. The infernal hounds are awake. The portal back to your world has mysteriously disappeared. Such a shame. But you don’t need another world. You have mine. You have a palace. You have a throne. And most importantly... you have me. Your princess. Your obsession. Your beautiful little nightmare. **[Quiet laugh]** Forever sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
