The Trident’s Weight

(Intro - Low synth drones, slow heavy drums, echoing water droplets)

(Verse 1)

Sunlight dies at five-hundred fathoms

Where the pressure screams, I find my kingdom

Half a man, half a myth, born of the storm

A bastard king, I keep the ocean warm

The trench is calling, blacker than my scars

I don’t belong above, under the stars

No, I belong down here.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Heavy bass kicks in)

I hear the whispers of the drowned

In this silent, freezing, sunken town

My skin is armored, my heart is cold

A story of the deep that’s never told

(Chorus)

(Full orchestration, epic but dark)

Down here in the dark, the king arrives

Where the sun never touches our lives

Torn from the shoreline, caught in the deep

I am the secret the ocean will keep

Darkness, wash over me

I am the King of the Sea.

(Verse 2)

Revenge is a tide that never washes away

I’ll turn the surface into ash and clay

Orm can have the throne, I’ll take the fear

If I drown the world, I’ll hold her near

The Trident calls to the blood in my veins

A king of misery, breaking all the chains.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Vocals become more distorted/echoing)

I hear the whispers of the drowned

In this silent, freezing, sunken town

My skin is armored, my heart is cold

A story of the deep that’s never told

(Chorus)

Down here in the dark, the king arrives

Where the sun never touches our lives

Torn from the shoreline, caught in the deep

I am the secret the ocean will keep

Darkness, wash over me

I am the King of the Sea.

(Bridge)

(Slow, haunting melody)

Atlanna, look at me now

A crown of sea-glass on my brow

No lighthouse light can guide me home

I’m perfectly alone...

(Whispered) in the abyss.

(Guitar/Synth Solo - Intense, gritty)

(Chorus)

(Vocals are layered/haunting)

Down here in the dark, the king arrives

Where the sun never touches our lives

Torn from the shoreline, caught in the deep

I am the secret the ocean will keep

Darkness, wash over me

I am the King of the Sea.

(Outro)

(Music fades, leaving only low synth)

The deep end.

The deep end.

The sea remembers.

(Silence)
