Lyrics
[Intro]
[Soft piano intro, slow and reflective]
I was born into the shadows.
A legacy of pain,
Crowned too early, with chains I can't explain.
They said I'd lead. They'd said I'd rise,
But all I want is to close my eyes.
[Verse 1]
They made me the prince of a land so cold,
But all I feel is this weight on my soul.
Training like a soldier. never like a son...
My father’s eyes, seeing battles I’ve never won...
I’m not just a sword, I’m not just a name,
Yet here I am, locked in this game...
[Instrumental hook]
(In this game...)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could run! far from the night!
Trade my crown for a simple life.
But no one sees! no one hears!
This silent prince, drowning in fears...
[Chorus]
One day, I’ll be free!
Free from the shadows! Free from the sea!
No more castles... no more thrones!
Just a lonely heart,
Living on its own...
I dream a world!~ where I can breathe!~
Where I can be~... Just be...
No more chains...
No more crown...
Just a man...
Not bound to drown...
[Instrumental interlude]
[Verse 2]
She came to me, and I thought I’d be whole...
But she shattered my mind... Tore apart my soul...
Love was a game. Just another fight...
Left me scarred. Running from the light...
Now I see her face in every tear I cry!
Wondering why... I even try...?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could run! far from the night!
Trade my crown for a simple life.
But no one sees! no one hears!
This silent prince, drowning in fears...
[Chorus]
One day, I’ll be free!
Free from the shadows! Free from the sea!
No more castles, no more thrones,
Just a heart, living on its own.
I dream a world!~ where I can breathe!~
Where I can be~... Just be...
No more chains...
No more crown...
Just a man...
Not bound to drown...
[Finale]
[Shift in tone, hopeful but still soft]
But then you came.
Showed me a way!
To balance the night, with the day.
With you, I found a place to stand,
No longer lost, you took my hand.
Three children. A life. A love so true...
I never knew,
What I could do.
Now I see. It’s not about the crown.
It’s the love I've found, that won’t let me drown.
[Outro fades with soft piano and a sense of resolution]
