(Yeah… Crimson King.)
“Pressure make diamonds… or monsters.”
Lucius talkin’.
(Von Blackburn, Final War… you know what it is.)

[Verse 1 – Passionate and Reflective]
I got rage in my heart I can’t sleep through
Mama say I’m gifted, but the world say I’m see-through
Pop say control it, don’t let the flames own you
But I seen kingdoms fall when I lost my cool
I’m just 19 with the blood of kings
But my hands still shake when I grip that swing
Got a blade that speaks in the voice of storms
And it whisper to me every time I’m torn
I ain’t choose this war, it was born in my veins
Now they want me to lead, carry centuries of pain
Told my brother I’m fine, but I’m breakin’ in two
Got a war outside, got a war in me too
---
[Chorus – Soulful, with Auto-tuned Melodies]
I feel pressure — crimson pressure, I can't fold
Too much weight on me, too much cold
I lost sleep, lost love, lost hope
But I rise, even when I’m broke
They don’t know what I seen behind that flame
Don’t ask why I walk like I’m draggin’ chains
Crimson King, born to break the pain
But sometimes… I just want to feel sane
---
[Verse 2 – Gritty and Determined]
Been loyal since the jump, since the flame was a spark
Now it’s wild in my soul, lightin’ up the dark
They label me cruel, say my wrath too much
But I’m just protectin’ the ones I trust
Sylvia, Julius, Anna, they my world
Julian still dreamin’, Lydia a pearl
My fam got burdens they don’t show no more
So I carry mine twice, that’s just how I go
I ain’t soft, just scarred, got pride in my stride
I’ll burn this world down if they touch my tribe
Talk chaos? I was born in it, slept in war
But I still got love… that’s what I’m fightin’ for
---
[Chorus – Full Emotion]
I feel pressure — crimson pressure, I can't fold
Too much weight on me, too much cold
I lost sleep, lost love, lost hope
But I rise, even when I’m broke
They don’t know what I seen behind that flame
Don’t ask why I walk like I’m draggin’ chains
Crimson King, born to break the pain
But sometimes… I just want to feel sane

[Outro – Fading Choir + Thunder Roll]
"Power don't make you strong... choice do."
"And I chose to keep goin' — even when it hurt."
“Lucius. Blackburn. Flame never die.”
