Speaker A
Heavy chains around my wrists. Names they carved onto my sins. Funny how the truth can bleed when lies become [music] what people need.
Speaker A
Go ahead. Throw another stone. It's easier [music] than questioning your throne. [screaming] Raise the ropes.
Speaker A
Light [music] the flame. Carve another cursed name. Let the whole [music] kingdom sing. Watch them cheer the falling king. One more traitor.
Speaker A
[music] One more grave. Welcome [music] to execution day. [music] To execution day. [music] Every witness sold their soul. Every judge already knew. [music] Every sentence had been written long before they asked for [music] proof. I kept hoping someone stand. One familiar
Speaker A
[music] voice would shout, "He didn't do it." Silence hurts the loudest build. One step [music] closer to the end.
Speaker A
Funny, [music] none of you can meet my eyes. Raise the roads, sound the drums, tell yourselves [music] what I've become.
Speaker A
Heroes die while cowards reign. [music] History forgets their names. One more monster, [music] one more grave.
Speaker A
Welcome [music] to execution day. The fire's spreading past the eastern [music] wall. The soldiers know, but they won't tell you.
Speaker A
Because once [music] I'm gone, there's no one left to stop what's coming. [music] [music] Hear [music] those screams? They're not for me.
Speaker A
[music] Look behind the city. Every gate [music] I used to guard has fallen. Every oath I used to keep [music] is broken.
Speaker A
The beast you feared was never me. The monster wore a crown. You killed the shield [music] to save the throne.
Speaker A
Now save [music] yourselves. Tomorrow you'll build a statue. [music] You'll call me a fallen hero. [music] History always apologizes. [music] Too late.
Speaker A
