[Verse 1] I came in black from another shore, Hot fries in my hand, then the floor went cold. Stonehenge cracked open like a secret door, And the world wore armor, green and gold. Simon knelt first, said, "I’m sorry, friend," Said they needed one more soul in the fight. Then Tudor Castle rose at the end, And I met my fate in a candlelit light. [Pre-Chorus] He taught me how to read the board, Every move with the Perfect Rule. He said, "Choose your Deck, choose your war," So I held that card like a saved-up tool. Now I know why I was brought here, Why the air felt sharp when he spoke my name. [Chorus] I kneel to the red rose, I give you my vow. Henry Tudor, I’m yours now. I kneel to the red rose, Black coat, open hands, I’ll stand where your banner lands. [Verse 2] I was a fan with a plastic grin, Living loud on a hundred channels wide. Now every choice can let me win, Or send a whole kingdom into fire. He looked like Yugi with a crown of dawn, Small smile, steady eyes, no waste of breath. I saw my old life coming undone, And I chose this side with the cards I kept. [Pre-Chorus] Simon said, "There’s no easy road, But you’ve got heart, and that matters here." So I learned the weight of a loaded draw, And I turned my doubt into sharpened steel. At Tudor Castle, the halls rang clear, Like the stones themselves were listening close. [Chorus] I kneel to the red rose, I give you my vow. Henry Tudor, I’m yours now. I kneel to the red rose, Black coat, open hands, I’ll stand where your banner lands. [Bridge] If America’s gone and the years run strange, I’m still the man who refuses to fold. I was sent to a war, to a kingdom changed, Now I fight for a future in red and gold. Call it fate, call it chance, call it grace, I found my place in the thunder of crowns. [Final Chorus] I kneel to the red rose, I give you my vow. Henry Tudor, I’m yours now. I kneel to the red rose, Black coat, open hands, I’ll stand where your banner lands. I kneel to the red rose, I won’t look away. For the life they gave me that day.
