[Intro]
Sunlit stones, a crown of light, a courtyard wide and bright.
The banners lean with laughter, edges catching golden sight.
[Verse 1]
I am the stubborn king, yet warm as dawn's first flame,
Duty sits upon my shoulders, but love keeps me tame.
Courtiers weave their whispers, a dance of nod and bow,
I translate the marching crowd to a careful, quiet vow.
[Pre-Chorus]
Between the ritual and the rumor, a pulse begins to rise,
A quiet revolution fluttering behind regal eyes.
[Chorus]
My heartbeat files the royal drums, steady, firm, and kind,
In every measured step I take, a sway within my mind.
Let pride and affection kiss, let laughter ink the day,
I rule with tempered tenderness, in the sunlit play.
[Verse 2]
Laughter bells collide with protocol, a playful, prying crowd,
I bow to rules yet spar with love, quietly loud and proud.
The lineage glitters on the wall, a map of weight and worth,
But I keep a secret kingdom where affection finds its birth.
[Pre-Chorus]
A whisper stitched in ceremony, a spark beneath the lace,
A rebel heartbeat finding rhythm in a prince’s pace.
[Chorus]
My heartbeat files the royal drums, steady, firm, and kind,
In every measured step I take, a sway within my mind.
Let pride and affection kiss, let laughter ink the day,
I rule with tempered tenderness, in the sunlit play.
[Bridge]
Say it softly, court—respect, embrace, and truth align,
A lattice of ritual where a stubborn heart can shine.
[Chorus]
My heartbeat files the royal drums, steady, firm, and kind,
In every measured step I take, a sway within my mind.
Let pride and affection kiss, let laughter ink the day,
I rule with tempered tenderness, in the sunlit play.
[Outro]
Under sunlit arches, the crowd learns to adore,
The king who loves, and learns to listen more.
