00:02In the house of nine, where the candles never slept
00:14A mother's prayers rose while the shadows crept
00:48A boy raised on thunder and tongues of holy fire
00:54Watched the faithful one fade while the healers lost their choir
01:00Grief became a doorway, rebellion learned his name
01:05He traded light for power and the night became his claim
01:10He signed the dark with crimson, whispering ancient breath
01:16And the darkness answered softly, granting life from death
01:21Doors of gold swung open, the stage lights found his face
01:27For a season the shadows crowned him and called it grace
01:34It worked, oh it worked
01:38The contracts written in silence, the ones who shine the brightest
01:44Carry marks of quiet violence
01:51Blood magic works until the morning broke in
01:56Chains that glitter like crowns until the true king spoke it
02:02And every throne built on the night
02:05Will one day fall to light
02:07The hidden hand behind the glory is real
02:12But it is not the final story
02:20He saw the same old signatures on faces made of fame
02:25The ones who never aged the same
02:28Whose eyes still hold the flame
02:30They taught the same soft rituals
02:34Dressed in silk and gold
02:36Manifesting sacrifice
02:39The oldest story told
02:42Isolation was the teacher
02:45Voices in the walls
02:47The higher that he climbed
02:50The further that he falls
02:53Until the night of breaking
02:55On a cold and empty floor
02:58He cried the only name that still could open every door
03:05Not every star is born of talent alone
03:09Some climb the ladder built from other people's bones
03:15The ones who know, already know
03:20The signature is older than the radio
03:25But the one who walked out of the grave
03:31Still breaks every contract that the darkness ever made
03:37Blood magic works until the morning broken
03:42Every throne built on the night
03:45Will one day have to choke it
03:48The hidden truth is simple
03:51Older than the charts
03:54The power is real
03:56But the cross is where it falls apart
04:00Wake up
04:01The one still signing in the dark
04:04There is a fire
04:07That no blood can mark
04:12The sovereign flame still burns
04:18And it is not for sale
04:22And it is not for sale
