Title: When the Last Crown Falls Part I – The Procession [Intro - spoken elder voice, distant bells] Bring down the banners. Lower the spears. The king is dead... and the road is full of years. At winter’s gate, beneath the tower bell, We carried him where fallen rulers dwell. His sword was wrapped in cloth of ashen white, His horse walked riderless into the night. No trumpet cried, no victory drums were played, Only the rain on stones where oaths were made. The lords came bowed in armor, rust, and gold, The queens wore black, the pages carried cold. And old men whispered, “Keep your voices low, The crown has heard what every kingdom knows.” When the last crown falls, let the iron bells ring, For the grave of an age and the bones of a king. We bury the oath, we bury the name, We bury the world that carried his flame. I saw him young, when banners kissed the sun, Before the wars, before the blood was done. His hand was firm, his mercy hard and rare, He held the storm and called it kingdom’s care. But every throne is borrowed from the grave, And every lord becomes the dust he gave. When the last crown falls, let the iron bells ring, For the grave of an age and the bones of a king. We bury the oath, we bury the name, We bury the world that carried his flame. Part II – The Organ Beneath the Stones Instrumental Interlude Part III – The Empty Throne At dawn we found the great hall bare and still, The ravens watched from every window sill. The throne stood cold beneath a fading ray, No living hand would take the crown away. The maps were torn, the old seals split in two, The walls remembered what the living knew. The border fires were burning red and far, The sons of peace were reaching for the war. For every law he carved in blood and stone Was ash by noon, and none would rule alone. When the last crown falls, let the iron bells ring, For the grave of an age and the bones of a king. We bury the oath, we bury the name, We bury the world that carried his flame. I was a boy when the golden horns were blown. I watched him rise beneath a brighter sun. I am an old man now. I watched the torches die. And no one living knows the songs we sung. When the last crown falls, let the black bells cry, For the last old road and the last red sky. We bury the crown, we bury the throne, We bury the age that left us alone. When the last crown falls, let the iron bells ring, For the grave of an age and the bones of a king. We bury the oath, we bury the name, We bury the world that carried his flame. No crown. No throne. No dawn for all. Only bells. Only stone. When the last crown falls.
