[Intro]
Moonlight spills through stained glass shards,
A quiet throne where my shadow guards.
[Verse 1]
From the moonlit throne room I command the night,
A vampire king with a heart that aches in sight.
Chandeliers whisper, banners fade to grey,
I count the ages as the dawn drifts away.
[Pre-Chorus]
Yet somewhere beyond these velvet walls I hear a spark,
A dawn-lit rumor rising from the dark.
[Chorus]
Lonely crown, lonely throne, I wear the night's own sigh,
Blood-dark rivers flow beneath the pale moon sky.
I guard a kingdom that will never wake,
A king of shadows with a heart that aches and breaks.
[Verse 2]
Portraits blink in the silence when the court is away,
The bats keep vigil as I pace the relics of yesterday.
I've tasted winter in the blood that never dries,
And learned to dream in the quiet where the thunder dies.
[Pre-Chorus]
But a rumor travels down the frost-stitched corridors,
Of a dawn that could free this crown's old scars.
[Chorus]
Lonely crown, lonely throne, I wear the night's own sigh,
Blood-dark rivers flow beneath the pale moon sky.
I guard a kingdom that will never wake,
A king of shadows with a heart that aches and breaks.
[Bridge]
Maybe if a brave dawn dared to cross this gate,
I could lay the crown down and choose a different fate.
If you bring a flame to melt these ancient chains,
We'll write a new day where love remains.
[Chorus]
Lonely crown, lonely throne, I wear the night's own sigh,
Blood-dark rivers flow beneath the pale moon sky.
I guard a kingdom that will never wake,
A king of shadows with a heart that aches and breaks.
[Outro]
Let the night remember me as the king who learned to dream,
When dawn finally comes, I’ll let the shadows gleam.
