TRACK 2 - THE KINGDOM REMEMBERS — PART A

[INTRO — WHISPERED, DISTANT, ECHOING] You asked me never to reject you... But what about me? What about the kingdom? What about the home? What about everything we were supposed to be? [VERSE 1 — THE EMPTY HOME] I walk these halls in silence now, Beneath the stars we once called ours. The rooms still hold the dreams we made, The light still falls where love once stayed. Home Sweet Home — the name remains, But every room remembers pain. I built a future, not a fantasy, A home for God, our family. A place for you, a place for me, A place for our daughter to grow free. But now I face these walls alone, Inside the dream that was our home. [PRE-CHORUS — THE QUESTION] You told me, “Never turn away.” You told me not to leave someday. But when you vanished without goodbye, Who held the heart you left behind? [ECHO] Who held me? Who held me? [CHORUS — THE KINGDOM REMEMBERS] THE KINGDOM REMEMBERS! Every promise, every flame! You can walk away from Heaven, But you cannot change its name! I gave you the fairytale, The crown, the throne, the dream— And the greatest love on Earth Was the heart behind the kingdom's gleam! You asked me never to reject you, But you left me asking why. Now I'm standing in the home we dreamed of, With a thousand unanswered whys! THE KINGDOM REMEMBERS! Let the heavens hear the truth! I gave you all the love I had— And I built that dream for you! [ECHO] For you... For you... For you... [VERSE 2 — THE TRASH FOLDER] Did you place our memories somewhere You would never have to see? Did you file away the moments That once meant the world to me? Did the laughter lose its meaning? Did the promises turn cold? Did the future we imagined Become a story left untold? I cannot see inside your silence. I cannot know what you conceal. But I know the life I offered you, And I know what I made real. You may close the door behind you. You may leave without a sound. But you cannot make my love a lie By laying all our memories down. [PRE-CHORUS 2 — THE DOUBLE STANDARD] You feared the pain of rejection. You asked me not to make you fall. But what am I supposed to call it When you leave me with no words at all? [ECHO] No words... No goodbye... You asked me for a promise. I gave you one with all my heart. But I never thought the silence Would be the thing that tore us apart. [CHORUS 2 — THE CROWN STILL STANDS] THE KINGDOM REMEMBERS! Every promise, every flame! You can walk away from Heaven, But you cannot change its name! I gave you the fairytale, The crown, the throne, the dream— And the greatest love on Earth Was the heart behind the kingdom's gleam! You asked me never to reject you, But you left me asking why. Now I'm standing in the home we dreamed of, With a thousand unanswered whys! [VERSE 3 — THE DARK LORD'S ANGER] Oh, I could erase your picture. I could bury every trace. I could tear your name from every wall And curse the day I saw your face. I could say you meant nothing. I could swear that love was blind. I could turn the whole world against you And leave the past behind. But that would be a lie, my love. And lies are not the man I am. I will not rewrite what once was real Just because I cannot understand. I can be angry and still love you. I can hurt and still stand tall. I can refuse to chase your silence Without pretending you meant nothing at all. [BRIDGE — WHEN REGRET COMES KNOCKING] [MUSIC FALLS AWAY — LONELY PIANO, DISTANT HEARTBEAT] Perhaps one day the silence breaks. Perhaps one day you see The home, the dreams, the love we shared— The life that might have been. Perhaps the memories return to you When no one else is near. Perhaps you'll hear the echoes Of the love that once lived here. And if regret should find you, If the years should make it clear, You'll know the kingdom was not empty— The love was waiting here. [ECHO] Waiting here... Waiting here... But I will not live my life Just waiting for that day. I have questions without answers, And you have walked away. [BUILD — DARK ORCHESTRAL RISE] The kingdom remembers... The crown still stands... Home Sweet Home... The flame still remains...
