INTRO [distorted guitar drone, ambient synth, low brass stabs] I wasn’t born to rule—I rose from dust Built my name in silence, not in trust They wore their crowns like borrowed gold I carved mine deep, in fire and cold VERSE 1 [clean electric guitar with cello swells] I bled for ground they walked with ease I earned my scars, I broke their peace No silver spoon, no royal line Just shattered bones and battle signs PRE-CHORUS [French horns rising with snare roll and synth lift] They called me reckless, called me wrong But I was building all along A throne of scars, a seat of flame Where every wound became my name CHORUS [full band: distorted guitars, strings, brass, taiko drums] I wear no crown—but I rule what I’ve built A kingdom forged in blood and guilt Through ruin and thunder, I won’t be tamed My soul is sovereign, my name engraved They live in my fire, they burn in my cry Stars in the scars that never die BRIDGE [choir pads with lead guitar harmonies] Let them kneel to golden lies I’ll stand where truth and pain collide My throne is cracked, my hands are worn But I am king of what was torn FINAL CHORUS [full band returns with orchestral crescendo] I wear no crown—but I rule what I’ve built A kingdom forged in blood and guilt They live in my fire, they burn in my cry Stars in the scars that never die OUTRO (Spoken Whisper) [solo piano fade with ambient wind] “I didn’t inherit power—I became it.”
