When Shadows Call My Name

[Intro] Once a ruler, now a ghost… Still, I reign. [Verse 1] Beneath the ancient hall of stone, Where echoes weep, I sit alone. A crown of ash, a throne decayed, In this shadowed realm where I’ve stayed. The walls breathe tales of battles lost, Victory’s price, the cruelest cost. I linger here, where the torches fade, Bound to the throne my hubris made. [Chorus: Ethereal chants under deep vocals] How can I leave now, When shadows call my name? This kingdom of sorrow, Where nothing remains. I built this cage, A monument of woe. On my throne of shadows, I’ll never let go. [Bridge: Haunting whispers over a slow, relentless beat] The chains I forged, they fit so tight, Bound by pride, sealed in night. Would I leave if I had the key, Or is the throne all that’s left of me? [Chorus: Repeated with rising intensity] How can I leave now, When shadows call my name? This kingdom of sorrow, Where nothing remains. I built this cage, A monument of woe. On my throne of shadows, I’ll never let go. [Outro: Fading organ and soft chanting] Never… let go.
