[Verse 1]

[Verse 1] Midnight spills across the floorboards Dust in bourbon light Texas hums beyond the windows Stars hang low tonight Old piano knows our secrets Keys breathe soft and slow Ash falls like a quiet snowfall From a hand that ruled alone [Pre-Chorus] History never ends — it changes clothes The past still bleeds in gold [Chorus] Pour another age in crystal glass Let the old world drown in rye From the smoke a crown is rising We don’t ask the reason why Prior walks beside Nyx softly Velvet dark and lineage In the hush a throne is forming Welcome to the second age [Verse 2] Leather seats and faded emblems Names the banks still keep Old money never truly sleeps It only dreams more deep We don’t conquer — we inherit Brick by breathing brick Every whisper builds a kingdom Every silence makes it stick [Pre-Chorus] Power never shouts — it stays And eternity learns patience [Chorus] Pour another age in crystal glass Let the old world drown in rye From the smoke a crown is rising We don’t ask the reason why Prior walks beside Nyx softly Velvet dark and lineage In the hush a throne is forming Welcome to the second age [Bridge - spoken] Calm down… Cities fall without a sound We were never rebels, darling We were heirs before the crown [Final Chorus] Let the record spin forever Let the empire grow unseen Texas night becomes the altar For a quiet sovereign dream Prior’s hand inside Nyx’s shadow Whiskey seals the heritage In the dark the map is changing Now begins the velvet age [Outro] Smoke curls like a family crest Trumpet fades to black History leans back in leather And never looks back
