[Intro] (hushed, spoken-sung) Two names, one wall One fate spared us both [Verse 1] (soft, restrained) Stone floor, cold light Two prisoners, one same night She kept her crown somehow He learned to wait [Pre-Chorus] (rising slightly) Years pass, she calls him near Keeps him close, keeps him here [Chorus] (opening up) Some call it favor, I call it design A door built for two On the same side of the line [Verse 2] (restrained, building) A house with no suspicion A name that hides in plain sight A birth no one questions A truth kept out of the light [Chorus] (opening up) Some call it favor, I call it design A door built for two On the same side of the line [Bridge] (rising, urgent — distant horn) He raised his sword against her throne He stood and called it his own Fought for the one he couldn't claim Then carried, alone, the blame [Final Chorus] (full, resolved) No crown for the blood denied So he built one from inside Not a son on a throne A seed he planted and left behind [Outro] (quiet, fading) A seed, not a crown A seed, left behind
