The Cursed King - Heroic Metal -Artificial Insanity

New week, new song! Metal forever! [Intro] Blood on the crown… Ash on the throne… He is all alone.... [Verse 1] She came beneath a moonless sky, With fire burning in her eyes, She offered me her heart and hand, I cast her from my hall. She spoke my name with poisoned breath, And swore my pride would purchase death: “You’ll wear the shape your soul conceals, And watch your kingdom fall.” [Pre-Chorus] Now every night the hunger wakes, The iron bends, the castle shakes, I hear the beast beneath my skin Demanding to be free. [Chorus] Cursed king! Beast on the throne, Condemned to rule alone. Cursed king! Fur, fang and claw, is all they saw. [Instrumental – galloping guitars] [Verse 2] My banners burn upon the walls, The winter howls through empty halls, My people fled before the claws That once defended them. Yet underneath this hide of night, A human heart still guards the light, And every scar she carved in me Will fuel my wrath again. [Pre-Chorus] Let mountains crack and towers fall, I’ll hunt the witch beyond them all. No spell can bind forevermore The fury of a king! [Chorus] Cursed king! Beast on the throne, Condemned to rule alone. Cursed king! Fur, fang and claw, is all they saw. [Bridge – slower, choir rising] One day the bells will sound again, Above the roofs rebuilt by men. The fields will bloom, the gates will rise, And fire will leave the sky. No longer fang, no longer claw, I’ll stand before my people all. And she who thought to see me crawl, Will look into my eyes., and fall! [Breakdown] I remember my name. I remember my throne. I remember the oath That I swore in the stone. [Solo] [Final Chorus, key change] Cursed king! Beast on the throne, Condemned to rule alone. Cursed king! Fur, fang and claw, is all they saw. But by the blood of everything the sorceress stole from me, I’ll break these chains, reclaim my crown— And set my kingdom free! [Outro] Blood on the crown… Fire in the night… The king shall rise again.
