[Intro] In the corridors of silent stone I count the echoes of your name Each step I take, I bleed alone Each breath repeats my shame [Verse 1] (soft, melancholic, intimate tone) I built a kingdom underground With broken dreams and shattered prayers I crowned you queen without a sound Inside my maze of fears Your shadow dances on my walls Your laughter cuts me deep I write your name in phantom calls I never get to keep [Pre-Chorus] (voice gaining intensity) I gave you music I gave you light I gave you everything inside my night Yet you chose daylight over me [Chorus – FULL ORCHESTRA] (powerful, dramatic, emotional explosion) In this labyrinth of tears I scream your name Through cathedral halls of love and pain I carved my heart in marble flame And you walked away In this labyrinth of tears I burn alive A fallen god denied his sky If I am damned, then so are you In every goodbye [Verse 2] (low, controlled anger under sadness) I stitched my soul into your song I fed you stars and broken vows I wore my mask to stay strong While you forgot me now They see a monster in my face A devil in disguise But you were the only grace Behind these cursed eyes [Pre-Chorus 2] (growing bitterness) I shaped your wings I taught you flight I held you close in endless night You chose his arms, not mine [Chorus – FULL ORCHESTRA] (stronger than first, angrier) In this labyrinth of tears I curse the sky I drown in sacred lullabies I begged the angels for one lie They all denied In this labyrinth of tears I lose control A broken crown upon my soul If love is mercy, where is mine? Where is mine? [Bridge] (liturgical, dramatic, almost mad) I prayed in shadows I knelt in sound I built my heaven underground I bled in silence I burned in faith You left me kneeling at love’s grave (voice turns desperate, near breakdown) Was I a dream? Was I a sin? Was I nothing you believed in? [Breakdown] (almost spoken, fragile) Christine… Did you ever hear me crying Behind the walls? Did you ever see I was dying… [Final Chorus] (maximum power, operatic rage) In this labyrinth of tears I claim my throne Of shattered glass and broken bones If I am cursed to die alone So be it, so be it! In this labyrinth of tears I rise and fall A phantom king without a crown You took my heart, you took it all And let it drown [Outro] (exhausted, hollow voice) So I return to silent stone To empty songs and empty prayers A king of ghosts, forever alone Inside my tears… Inside my lair…
