[Intro – Low strings, faint heartbeat] I swore to protect the crown… But I was wrong. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Aftermath tension] Throne room burning, marble cracked, King on his knees but dagger packed, Black sun high, no turning back, Ash falling thick and black. Kael steps forward, calm and cold, Blade like judgment, firm and bold, Seven graves behind his soul — And silence in his chest. King whispers, “Monster. Traitor. Curse.” Voice shaking but venom worse, Hidden steel in royal purse — I see it first. ⸻ [Chorus 1 – Heavy emotion] Iron oath still in my veins, Not for throne and not for chains, If I must break it in the flames — So be it. Two stood here against the sky, One must fall so one survives, If this is how the story ends — I accept it. ⸻ [Verse 2 – The sacrifice] Time slowed thin as glass, King lunged fast through smoke and ash, Blade aimed straight for Kael’s back — No hesitation. I moved before I thought it through, Shield raised high like I used to, Steel tore deep — it followed through — Right into me. Shock ran cold beneath my ribs, Iron oath in crimson drips, Kael caught me as I slipped — Black flame shaking. He said my name like he was lost, Like this was too high a cost, I laughed once — it barely crossed — “My choice.” ⸻ [Chorus 2 – Breaking but strong] Iron oath fulfilled tonight, Not for throne and not for right, But for the brother in the fight — That never left. Seven graves and now one more, Shield laid down on burning floor, If loyalty is worth dying for — Then this is it. ⸻ [Bridge – Metal Rap Breakdown] (Guitars slam, drums double) I CHOSE YOU OVER CROWNS OVER GODS OVER GROUND IRON BENDS BUT DOESN’T BREAK UNTIL IT GIVES FOR LOVE’S SAKE NO REGRET NO SECOND GUESS (SCREAM) PROTECT THEM. ⸻ [Chorus 3 – Devastating] Iron oath in dying breath, Shield of faith and shield of death, If this world only respects — Sacrifice. Two brothers stood — now one remains, Black sun crowned in grief and flame, If redemption had a name — It was mine. ⸻ [Outro – Final line] Darius falls. The king dies. And Kael stands alone — Under the black sun.
