Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Jazz Horns Over Lo-fi Drum Loop] (Yeah… they don’t really know me though) “Sleepin’ heavy, heart heavier… still walkin’.” (Von Blackburn… Prince of the Hollow Thrones.) --- [Verse 1 – Calm, But Layered with Weight] I was born in a castle with silence for walls Pops taught me how to swing, moms how to fall They say I smile like I’m missin’ somethin’ inside Truth is, I just learned to let the dark be my guide Eyes purple — but I see in black and white Swing my blade through the dusk, call it bringin’ back the light My brother got that fire, my sister bring the spring Me? I bring peace… with the voice of a king Or maybe a ghost. Still not sure if I'm livin’ or if I haunt hope They call me lovable, loyal, sincere But I sleep through the screams just to silence the fear --- [Chorus – Reflective, Almost Whispered] I don’t talk much, I just move Let the katana cut through what I can’t prove Don’t dream dreams, I dream war Every death I dealt is written in my core Black rose grow from my throne But I water it alone… yeah I water it alone… --- [Verse 2 – More Personal, With Subtle Pain] Tell me what it mean when your soul numb When the world call your name, but you never come When the only real love is a sword in the night And even that don't feel like it's swingin’ it right I seen gods, seen giants, seen heaven and hell But never seen a place where I feel like myself Even in the Blackburn bloodline divine Sometimes I wonder if this death still mine Julian dreamin’ stars, Lydia sketchin’ sparks Lucius got rage, and Anna live in the dark Me? I got ghosts. Got regrets I ain't name But I keep ‘em in a verse, that’s how I play the game --- [Chorus – Repeats, Slight Harmony Overlap] I don’t talk much, I just move Let the katana cut through what I can’t prove Don’t dream dreams, I dream war Every death I dealt is written in my core Black rose grow from my throne But I water it alone… yeah I water it alone… --- [Outro – Horn Fade, Spoken Word Over Fade Out] "They say I bring death... but I never asked for the crown." "I just held it when nobody else could." “…Julius.”
