I wasn't born to wear a crown
I built it while the kings burned down
Every step was calculated
Every doubt eliminated
They followed me through smoke and snow
Because I always seemed to know
When maps bend to your will so long
You start to think you can't be wrong

They stopped arguing, stopped the fight
Started calling instinct sight
When no one says you're going too far
That's when you already are

I'm the only mind in the room
The only future they can see
If they freeze, I'll make them move–
History bends to me
I don't need advice or doubt
I've already worked it out
When the world won't fit my plan
I don't change–
I push harder

Every loss felt temporary
Every warning felt reactionary
They said the cold would break my men
I said: Victory's worth the end
I mistook silence for belief
Loyalty for blind relief
When you're worshipped long enough
You forget what's real, what's luck

I don't retreat, I reorganize
Call defeat a sacrifice
If the truth won't stand in line
I'll replace it with my mind

I'm the only mind in the room
The only future they can see
If they freeze, I'll make them move–
History bends to me
I don't need advice or doubt
I've already worked it out
When the world won't fit my plan
I don't change–
I push harder

What if I'm wrong?
No–
What if they are?
If I stop now
It means I was never great

I'm the only mind in the room–
That's what I taught them to say
Now the echoes sound like truth
And there's no one left to blame
If the plan fails, double down
If the line breaks, redraw
I don't lose–
I just refuse
To see the fall

Exile doesn't start with chains
It starts
When no one argues anymore
