(Alucard POV – Heavy) [Intro – Choir + Low Strings] Heartbeat echo. Wind through castle halls. A coffin lid opens. [Alucard (soft):] Father… what have you become? ⸻ [Verse 1 – Calm, Calculated Flow] Born of the night, but raised in the light Blood in my veins but my conscience fights Castle of shadows, throne built in spite I carry the curse and still choose what’s right Half of a monster, half of a man Torn by a war I don’t understand Mother said mercy makes us stand Father chose fire to cleanse the land Immortal pulse, but I feel decay Watching humanity slip away If love is weakness — then let me stay Weak… before I turn to stone like clay. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Whisper Layer] Crimson calling… Darkness falling… Bloodline burning… No returning… ⸻ [Chorus 1 – Clean + Heavy Guitars] [Clean (deep melodic):] I walk between the night and dawn A broken crown I carry on [Half-scream harmony:] I AM THE HALF-BLOOD HEIR [Whisper:] Heir… heir… [Clean:] If I must stand against my own Then let this castle shake to bone [Power scream:] I AM THE NIGHT’S DESPAIR [Whisper:] Despair… ⸻ [Verse 2 – Faster / Darker Flow] Silver blade and a fractured name Every choice soaked deep in flame I won’t inherit endless pain Or wear a tyrant’s iron chain Fangs beneath a solemn face Speed of death, but measured grace If I must sever blood by blood Then let it drown in crimson flood I do not hunger for your fear I hunger for an ending here If this is war — then make it clear The prince of night has volunteered. ⸻ [Chorus 2 – Bigger / More Aggressive] [Clean:] I walk between the blade and throne A king who stands but stands alone [Half-scream:] I AM THE DAMNED REBORN [Whisper:] Reborn… [Clean:] If blood must spill to end this reign Then carve my grief into the stain [Power belt:] I AM THE STORM UNWORN [Whisper:] Storm… ⸻ [Bridge – Trap Metal Breakdown] (808 distortion. Double kick. Guitar tremolo.) You call me traitor— Call me son— But I won’t kneel To what you’ve done. Vampire strength — unleashed inside— (Scream layered with growl) I choose my side. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Full Choir + Double Kick] 🎻 Choir rising behind guitars [Clean (strongest):] I walk between the dark and flame Not bound by blood, not bound by name [Half-scream harmony:] I BREAK THE ANCIENT CHAIN [Whisper:] Chain… [Clean:] From coffin sleep to crimson war The prince of night will kneel no more [Full scream:] REMEMBER WHAT I BECAME [Whisper:] Became… ⸻ [Outro – Soft Piano + Wind] [Alucard (quiet):] For her… I’ll end this. Castle doors slam.
