[INTRO] ... Hear that? That's the sound of every prayer... hitting the ground. You keep asking who's behind the smoke. I'm behind it. You searched for ghosts. You whispered my name like a warning. Enough whispering. Look. At. Me. [VERSE 1] My name's the whisper that kingdoms buried, the shadow they prayed would never return. Before your bloodlines learned to write history, I was teaching the world how to burn. I forged my will inside the fire. I poured my soul into living gold. Now you carry pieces of my power like children trying to outrun the cold. I've watched every mile that you've wandered. Every promise. Every lie. Every victory you celebrated... passed beneath my eye. You thought that little stone would bring you answers. Instead... ...it brought you to me. You wanted to know who waits beyond the darkness. Now you know. [VERSE 2] Before your fathers learned the weight of iron, before they carved their little crowns from stone, I was already teaching fire how to answer when it heard my voice. I watched empires bloom like sparks... ...and die just as quick. You call it ancient history. I call it last time. That Ring you're hiding? It isn't your burden. It isn't your blessing. It's my heartbeat hammered into gold. My will without a pulse. My kingdom condensed to something small enough for thieves to carry... ...and fools to kill for. Every mile it travels is another mile home. Every hand that holds it already belongs to me. You don't possess it. You're possessed by the promise that you can. [HOOK] Run. Tell your captains. Tell your kings. Tell your children what the darkness brings. Build your walls. Forge your blades. Count your soldiers. Dig your graves. [VERSE 3] I don't gamble. I gather. I don't threaten. I arrive. You think I need your secrets? Fear hands them over. One frightened glance. One foolish choice. One look into my eye... Now I know your voice. I know who's faithful. I know who's weak. I know which hearts are breaking before they even speak. You call it hope. I call it hesitation. And hesitation... is how civilizations die. [BRIDGE] Here's how this ends. I'll march until the white walls crack. The kingdoms of men will empty themselves to stop me. Every sword. Every horse. Every banner. Every son. You'll leave your homes to save your crown. You'll gather every army into one place. Exactly where I want you. While every eye is fixed on my war... my Ring comes back to me. You think I'm chasing it. I've been calling it. I've been calling it. [FINAL VERSE] Bring me your heroes. Bring me your legends. Dress them in silver. Wrap them in prophecy. Tell yourselves stories about destiny. Steel bends. Stone falls. Blood dries. Fire remains. When the gates are broken, don't blame my armies. Blame the hope that convinced you you could stand against me. This is not revenge. This is correction. The age of men was always temporary. I am the hand that closes the book. [OUTRO] Remember my name. I was here before your kingdoms. I'll be here after your monuments. I don't need your love. I don't need your worship. Only your fear. Look into the fire... You'll see my Ring. Look deeper... You'll see me. And when the white city burns... remember... I told you first.
