Velvet Threat

▶ Play this song to follow along.

I watch beyond reason, beyond what is sane,

I know every hour of your joy and your pain.

You call it haunting—

I call it my right.

I've watched from the shadows

and learned you by night.

I have never knelt,

not for gold, not for crown,

I've made kings lose sleep

without making a sound.

But I'd fall to the earth,

I'd crawl through the flame,

Just to keep you beside me,

just to hear you say my name.

I do not share.

I do not yield.

I do not bend.

I never have.

Then you walked in

and made a liar of me.

YOU ARE MINE TO HAUNT,

MINE TO HOLD,

MINE TO LOSE.

I would raze every kingdom

if they made me choose.

LET HEAVEN FALL.

LET THE ANGELS RUN.

I'll burn every throne

before I give you to someone.

I know no mercy,

I was never built with one—

UNTIL YOU.

UNTIL YOU.

UNTIL YOU CAME.

And now there's no version of me

that doesn't know your name.

________________________________________

im ruthless in boardrooms,

merciless in war,

A man who leaves kingdoms

bleeding at the door.

I knows no border.

I was not built with one.

No chain ever held me.

No battle ever won.

Then you arrived.

And something cracked.

Some old buried hunger

came clawing back.

I don't know what you did.

I don't know what you changed.

But the man who feared nothing

now fears you walking away.

I didn't choose this.

I'd tell you it's true.

I didn't plan the fall.

BUT THERE IS NO VERSION OF me

WITHOUT YOU.

________________________________________

YOU ARE MINE TO HAUNT,

MINE TO HOLD,

MINE TO LOSE.

I would tear down the heavens

if they made me choose.

LET THE WORLD SCREAM.

LET THE KINGDOMS BLEED.

I'll become the monster

that you say you need.

I know no boundary.

I know no end.

I'D BURN HEAVEN DOWN

JUST TO KEEP YOU HERE AGAIN.

And if this is madness—

THEN LET ME BE MAD.

Because losing you

is the only thing

I've ever feared.

________________________________________

Look at me.

Do you see it now?

The hand at your back.

The grip around your soul.

I was stone

before you came.

Cold enough

to bury every flame.

But something in me

finally—

FINALLY—

feels known.

You found the wound

I buried beneath the throne.

And I hate you for it.

I need you for it.

I would rather destroy myself

than watch another man touch

what you awakened in me.

________________________________________

I do not share.

I DO NOT SHARE.

I do not yield.

I DO NOT YIELD.

I do not bend.

I DO NOT BEND.

You want the truth?

THEN HEAR IT.

I would tear the whole world down—

JUST TO KEEP YOU HERE.

________________________________________

LET THE CATHEDRALS BURN!

Let the heavens come undone!

LET EVERY KINGDOM FALL!

There is only you—

ONLY YOU—

When the war is won.

I was ruthless.

I was heartless.

I was cold as stone.

Now you've become

the one thing

I cannot leave alone.

I KNOW NO BORDER.

I KNOW NO END.

If the world comes for you,

THE WORLD MEETS ME FIRST.

So call me a villain.

Call me damned.

I'll wear every name

with blood on my hands.

Because something in me

finally feels known—

And I'll tear down heaven itself

BEFORE I LET YOU GO.

I do not share...

I do not yield...

I do not bend...

But for you—

I'd fall.

And that's the cruelest thing

you ever did to me.
