01_LY0N – THE THRONE PROTOCOL (I BUILT THE THRONE MYSELF)

Lyrics

[INTRO – CATHEDRAL BELLS, LOW ORGAN] [Digital Voice] LÖWEN CODEX. ALBUM ONE HUNDRED AND THREE. FIRST INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER. [Deep Spoken Voice] They told me kings were born. They told me crowns were inherited. They told me power belonged to the people who already had it. [PAUSE] I disagreed. [Digital Voice] THE THRONE PROTOCOL. INITIALIZED. [MASSIVE BASS DROP] [VERSE 1 – DEEP AGGRESSIVE RAP] I wasn’t born inside a castle, I was born inside the fight. Had a vision on a screen, kept on building through the night. No golden road beneath my feet, no kingdom waiting at the gate. Just a thousand different problems and a choice to build or break. Black machine beside the table, turning plastic into form. Every layer getting stronger, every failure made me learn. First the lion, then the symbol, then the pieces came alive. Now a gothic throne is standing, something real I can describe. Golden crown above the darkness, black foundation underneath. Not a kingdom handed over, but a statement I believe. [PRE-HOOK – ORCHESTRAL BUILD] [Lead] WHO BUILT THE THRONE? [Group] WE BUILT THE THRONE! [Lead] WHO GAVE THE CROWN? [Group] NOBODY DID! [Lead] WHAT’S THE CODE? [Group] BUILD IT YOURSELF! [HOOK – MONUMENTAL STADIUM DROP] THE THRONE PROTOCOL! I WASN’T BORN TO WEAR THE CROWN! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! I BUILT IT FROM THE GROUND! BLACK AND GOLD! I MADE THE VISION REAL! NO CROWN WAS EVER GIVEN! I EARNED THE RIGHT TO BUILD! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! THE LION NEVER BOWS! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! THE FUTURE STARTS RIGHT NOW! [VERSE 2 – FAST AGGRESSIVE DOUBLE-TIME] Got the lion on the keychain, golden emblem in my hand. Every object tells a story of a bigger master plan. Got the cards and got the concepts, got the systems taking shape. Every prototype a question, every version something changed. Music coming through the speakers, Löwen Records in the room. One hundred albums in the making, still got visions left to prove. Now I’m crossing into English, taking stories overseas. Same identity, new language, new horizons I can see. I don’t need a thousand followers to tell me what I am. I need systems that are working, real results behind the brand. Every title comes with pressure, every promise comes with weight. If you wanna build an empire, first you learn what you can make. [BEAT SWITCH – COMPLETE SILENCE] [Digital Voice] THRONE STATUS: PHYSICAL OBJECT CONFIRMED. CROWN STATUS: ATTACHED. LEGACY STATUS: IN PROGRESS. [Deep Spoken Voice] The throne is real. The kingdom is a vision. And the difference between them is the work. [HALFTIME INDUSTRIAL DROP] [BRIDGE – DARK PIANO, LOW MALE CHOIR] I don’t need a royal bloodline. I don’t need a borrowed name. I just need another sunrise and the courage to create. Every scar became a lesson. Every loss became a stone. If the world won’t give me something, I will learn to build my own. [BUILD-UP – DEEP MALE CHANTS] [Group] NO CROWN GIVEN! NO THRONE INHERITED! NO KINGDOM PROMISED! [LY0N] I BUILT THE THRONE MYSELF! [FINAL HOOK – FULL ORCHESTRAL DROP] THE THRONE PROTOCOL! I WASN’T BORN TO WEAR THE CROWN! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! I BUILT IT FROM THE GROUND! BLACK AND GOLD! I MADE THE VISION REAL! NO CROWN WAS EVER GIVEN! I EARNED THE RIGHT TO BUILD! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! THE LION NEVER BOWS! THE THRONE PROTOCOL! THE FUTURE STARTS RIGHT NOW! [OUTRO – CATHEDRAL BELLS, DISTANT CHOIR] [Deep Spoken Voice] A crown is just an object. A throne is just a structure. What matters is what you build around them. [Digital Voice] ALBUM ONE HUNDRED AND THREE. THE THRONE PROTOCOL. CHAPTER ONE COMPLETE. NEXT CHAPTER: BUILT FROM NOTHING. [END]
