[Intro – Hyun]

(Deep spoken over distant bells and low strings)

Listen…

No applause.

No court.

No kingdom.

Only us.

[Verse 1 – Hyun]

Empty hall where the echoes reign

Broken glass remembers every name

Crimson banners fade to gray

The throne still stands, but they’ve walked away

Every promise carved in stone

Now it’s dust beneath the bones

I wore the crown to keep you near

Now silence is the only thing I hear

[Pre-Chorus – Onyx]

Candles die one by one tonight

Still your shadow holds me tight

If the kingdom disappears

Will you stay through all these years?

[Chorus – Both]

Welcome to the hollow kingdom

Where the crown has turned to stone

Every castle falls to silence

Every ruler stands alone

Hold my hand through all the ruins

Don’t let go when hope is gone

If you’re here beside me

Then our kingdom still lives on

[Verse 2 – Hyun (Rap)]

I built these walls with blood and vows

Nothing’s left to conquer now

Empty throne, forgotten creed

Power never answered need

Let the marble crack in two

I’d burn it all to rescue you

Kings don’t fear the falling sky

Only losing what’s inside

[Verse 2 – Onyx]

Broken roses line the floor

No one’s dancing anymore

Still your heartbeat calls my name

Even ashes hold a flame

I don’t need a crown of gold

You’re the home I’ll always hold

If the world forgets our reign

I’ll still sing through all the pain

[Bridge – Onyx & Hyun]

Onyx (high, emotional):

When the last star leaves the sky…

Will you still be by my side?

Hyun (low harmony):

Always.

Even if heaven forgets our names.

[Dance Break]

Heavy orchestral strings collide with industrial synths and pounding drums.

The choreography mirrors crumbling walls—sharp formations break apart before Hyun and Onyx find each other center stage, ending back-to-back beneath a collapsing chandelier.

[Final Chorus – Both]

Welcome to the hollow kingdom

Where the night outlives the dawn

Every empire fades to memory

But our vow is still strong

Let the towers fall around us

Let the ashes fill the air

As long as we’re together

There’s a kingdom everywhere

Hollow kingdom…

Broken throne…

You’re the only home I’ve known…

[Outro – Hyun]

(Deep, fading into silence)

A kingdom can fall…

A promise can’t.
