(Intro) (Minimalistisches, dunkles Piano. Ein langsamer, tiefer Bass setzt ein.) (Flüstern/Atmosphäre) No signatures. No favors. Just the climb. (Verse 1) Cold concrete was the bed I made Counting pennies while the city played They looked through me like a ghost in the rain Building a kingdom out of nothing but pain No handshake, no backing, no golden door I had to learn what I was hungry for While they were asking for a seat at the table I was out there, proving I was able (Pre-Chorus) They told me wait, they told me slow But I had a fire they didn't know From the basement lights to the highest floor I don’t need your “maybe” anymore (Chorus) Look at the view from the top of the dark I turned the struggle into a spark No one helped, no one paved the way I’m the king of the night, I’m the light of the day Seraph rising, built on my own Taking the crown, sitting on the throne Zero to crown, the silence is loud I’m standing tall, above the crowd (Verse 2) Check the ledger, it’s all in my name I played the cards, I won the game No inheritance, no lucky break Just every single move I had to make My shadow grew as the buildings rose The world’s a stage, and this is how it goes Don't ask for a piece, don't ask for a part I put the iron in my own heart (Bridge) (Musik wird atmosphärischer, fast sakral) They built walls, I built a legacy The only witness is the soul in me I didn't climb to be seen by you I climbed because it was mine to do (Chorus) Look at the view from the top of the dark I turned the struggle into a spark No one helped, no one paved the way I’m the king of the night, I’m the light of the day Seraph rising, built on my own Taking the crown, sitting on the throne Zero to crown, the silence is loud I’m standing tall, above the crowd (Outro) (Beat wird minimaler, nur noch Piano) Built on my own. Zero to crown. (Fade out) Seraph Sinclair.
