[Intro] [low vocal register] Steel and silence Patterns Paths Dust on armor Echoed laughs [Verse 1] You move like a rumor of thunder Soft on the stones of the training yard Old scars folded into your posture Every breath measured Every edge hard You watch the young princes fall laughing You map where their footwork will fail One hand on the hilt of your patience One eye on an invisible trail [Chorus] Prince of the half-seen roads Walking where the shadows open Every world a line in your hand Drawn Then broken Then redrawn again You never asked for a throne Just a war you could finally end Prince of the half-seen roads Turning chaos into one more plan [Verse 2] A sister with storm in her fingers A brother who gambles with time You stand in the doorway of kingdoms Let loyalty sort into lines You teach them the weight of an error How distance can cut like a blade How mercy is carried in posture How love is the trap you evade [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] In a forest that breathes in colors You counted the ways you could die You walked through a thousand ambushes Just to learn how an army lies [full voice [crescendo]] You bled on a hill made of nothing Spoke tactics to creatures of storm You studied the angles of madness Until strategy sounded like prayer Like form [guitar solo] [Verse 3] When banners go down into ashes You stand in the smoke Taking stock You bury your heart with the fallen You polish the gear Wind the clock A nephew will look for your counsel An enemy borrow your code You’ll answer in simple corrections Then vanish onto the next road [Chorus] [Outro] [soft falsetto Fading] Step Turn Measure Let go Name every danger Then walk in alone Prince of the half-seen roads Marching nowhere Calling it home
