Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Jaden]**
You lied to me—this can’t be real,
A lifetime of trust, now I don’t know what to feel.
My best friend, my guide, the one who’s been there,
Now you’re saying you’re my mother? How could you dare?

**[Verse 2: Queen/Mother]**
I did what I had to, to keep you alive,
The sorcerer hunts, and I had to survive.
I gave up my crown, my throne, my face,
To protect the future of our shattered place.

**[Chorus (Together): Jaden & Queen/Mother]**
**Jaden:** You played a game, with pieces unseen,
**Queen/Mother:** I sacrificed all, for you to be king.
**Jaden:** Truths like daggers, tearing me apart,
**Queen/Mother:** But every move I made came from the heart.

**[Verse 3: Jaden]**
So all those years, every laugh, every tear,
You knew who I was, and still stayed near?
Why not tell me the truth? Why hide the pain?
Instead of leaving me lost in this game?

**[Verse 4: Queen/Mother]**
You were a baby, too young to know,
The sorcerer’s wrath would’ve struck a fatal blow.
I stayed in the shadows, I watched you grow,
Every lie I told was to keep you whole.

**[Bridge: Queen/Mother]**
Do you think it was easy to wear this mask?
To play the friend when the mother’s task
Was to hold you, to guide you, to let you see,
But the risk was too great—I chose secrecy.

**[Bridge: Jaden]**
You chose for me! You stole my choice!
You silenced my fate, you stifled my voice!
Now I’m drowning in truths, a storm in my chest,
How can I trust when you’ve failed the test?

**[Chorus (Together): Jaden & Queen/Mother]**
**Jaden:** You played a game, with pieces unseen,
**Queen/Mother:** I sacrificed all, for you to be king.
**Jaden:** Truths like daggers, tearing me apart,
**Queen/Mother:** But every move I made came from the heart.

**[Final Verse: Queen/Mother]**
But Jaden, my son, the time has come,
The past is a weight, but the future will run.
The necklace, the visions—they call you by name,
And through it all, my love stays the same.

**[Final Verse: Jaden]**
Maybe I’ll forgive, but not today,
This storm inside won’t go away.
The kingdom needs me, I’ll face the fight,
But I walk this path without your light.

**[Outro (Together): Jaden & Queen/Mother]**
**Queen/Mother:** I did it for love, though it tore us apart,
**Jaden:** And now I’ll rise with a fractured heart.
**Together:** The crown is calling, the kingdom waits,
But trust is a bond we’ll have to recreate.
