[Intro – whispered] I heard the gong beyond the trees A voice was dancing with the breeze The village slept beneath the moon But something called me… Something called me soon [Verse 1] Barefoot on the jungle floor I followed where I'd been before Silver moonlight, burning blue Every shadow led me through Ancient stones beneath my feet Heartbeat rising with the beat Then the darkness opened wide And I saw the temple hide [Pre-Chorus] One more step… One more breath… The gong was calling from the depths [Chorus] She was the Forgotten Queen The most beautiful I'd ever seen Waiting through a thousand years Hidden in the mist and tears She said, “Don't be afraid tonight Carry my story into the light When the ancient gong begins to ring Remember me… Remember everything!” [Verse 2] Golden shadows filled the hall Broken statues on the wall Then her eyes began to shine Like forgotten stars in time “Once I ruled this sacred land With the future in my hands But every crown will turn to dust Every kingdom fades to rust” [Pre-Chorus] Then she came close… I heard her say: “Some stories never fade away…” [Chorus] I was the Forgotten Queen Lost between the worlds unseen Waiting through a thousand years Calling through the silent tears “Don't be afraid tonight Carry my story into the light When the ancient gong begins to ring Remember me… Remember everything!” [Instrumental Break] [Bridge – intimate, emotional] At the first light of the dawn I reached for her… But she was gone Only ashes in the air And the sound of bells somewhere I turned around and heard the trees Whisper softly through the leaves: **“A story dies when no one sings… So carry mine beyond these wings.”** [Final Chorus – huge] You were the Forgotten Queen! Now your spirit lives in me! Through the fire, through the years Through the darkness and the tears I will carry your name tonight I will bring your story to light And whenever that ancient gong will ring I will remember… I will remember everything! [Final Outro] The village wakes… The morning comes… The ancient gong… Falls silent… But her song Lives on.
