[Verse 1]

Neon flickers on the bottles Heat outside won’t sleep Desert wind against the windows Carries what we keep Cards laid down like quiet oaths No one dares to break Every deal already written Long before we wake [Pre-Chorus] Time don’t move in lines tonight It circles back in gold [Chorus] Fill the glass and let it breathe We’re not young — we’re reborn From the dust a name is forming Like a crest the night has worn Prior stands where shadows gather Nyx beside the flame Not a rise and not a conquest Just a kingdom taking shape [Verse 2] Velvet booths and lowered voices Families carved in oak All the power here is quiet All the loud men broke We don’t rush into the future We let it arrive Some empires grow in daylight Some prefer the night [Pre-Chorus] Nothing starts — it just returns To the blood it chose [Chorus] Fill the glass and let it breathe We’re not young — we’re reborn From the dust a name is forming Like a crest the night has worn Prior stands where shadows gather Nyx beside the flame Not a rise and not a conquest Just a kingdom taking shape [Bridge – spoken low] Easy… Listen to the room Chairs remember everyone Who tried to own it too soon No war No throne taken by force Just inheritance finding Its natural course [Final Chorus] Let the records hum forever Let the city rearrange Every street will learn the surname Every door will feel the change Prior in the dark beside her Whiskey seals the claim What was waiting now is breathing — And the world won’t be the same [Outro] Ash settles on the counter Trumpet fades away A new age never shouts… It simply stays.
