They called me a bastard, a child of the night, But the stars had a different plan in their sight. (Pre‑Chorus) Then the sky split open, a blinding white light, I felt the old world fade, out of sight. A new sun rose where the old one had died, And I knew I was chosen — I’d no longer hide. (Chorus) From the ashes I rise, a stranger in this land, With the fire of two worlds burning in my hand. I’m not who I was, I’m the one who defies, The bastard becomes the king beneath alien skies! (Verse 2) Magic flowed through my veins, a power unknown, Secrets of ages, a voice on the stone. They saw my strange ways, my eyes full of flame, Feared what they couldn’t understand, but I bore the blame. (Pre‑Chorus) Through the dark and the storm, I found my own path, Every wound and defeat was a lesson in wrath. I learned to stand tall where the mighty had fallen, My bloodline was written — not given, but called. (Chorus) From the ashes I rise, a stranger in this land, With the fire of two worlds burning in my hand. I’m not who I was, I’m the one who defies, The bastard becomes the king beneath alien skies! (Bridge) They said I’d never rule, that my fate was to fall, But I’ve walked through death and answered the call. This world is mine now, by steel and by spell, The outcast, the other — I break from the shell! (Final Chorus) From the ashes I rise, the prophecy is true, The one from beyond, with the power anew. No longer a bastard, no longer unknown, I claim my dominion — I sit on the throne! (Outro) (Instrumental fade with choir: “The bastard becomes the king…”)
