[Intro – memorable electric guitar hook with delay, steady kick drum, atmospheric pad building tension] [Verse 1 – clean guitar, warm vocal] In the shadow of the Alps where the white swans fly A lonely young king watched the painted sky Dreaming worlds they could not see Built from hope and fantasy Stone by stone his castles rose High above the world below A kingdom made for hearts that dream Far beyond the royal scheme [Pre-Chorus – drums building, guitars swelling] They called him strange, a restless soul A crown too heavy to control [Chorus – full band, strong drums, anthemic guitars] Oh Swan King, don’t fade away Your castles still light up the gray From mountain walls to the dark lake shore Your dream is louder than before Oh Swan King, hear them sing Every bell and every wing Crowns may fall, the night may win But dreams like yours don’t drown within [Verse 2 – rhythmic guitars, bass groove] His cousin Sissi knew his heart Two wild souls the world tore apart While courts demanded power and gold He chased the stories never told Whispers rising through the halls Mad king walking castle walls They took the crown from dreaming hands And left him lost in silent lands [Bridge – music drops to piano and ambient guitar] A silent walk beside the lake One last dream he couldn’t take [Build – drums and guitars rising] [Final Chorus – biggest energy, layered vocals] Oh Swan King, don’t fade away Your castles still light up the gray From mountain walls to the dark lake shore Your dream is louder than before [Outro – repeating guitar hook fading into atmospheric reverb]
