In the shadows of my throne, I wear this mask of gold,

A beast of fury, bound by chains too old.

I see the fear in her eyes, she thinks I’m her curse,

But I’m trapped in a nightmare, can it get any worse?

I was once more than claws and might,

A ruler of beauty, bathed in light.

Now I guard a fragile peace,

But inside this beast, there's still a man beneath.

Beneath the beast, I’m breaking,

In the silence, my heart’s aching.

Her defiance, it stirs my soul,

A fire I thought the curse had stole.

Can she see past the fear in me,

To the man I long to be?

She’s more than prey, more than just a debt unpaid,

In her I see the spark of hope, though it starts to fade.

I give her freedom, but I’m caged inside,

Can she break the spell I’ve learned to hide?

I was once more than claws and might,

A king with a heart, bathed in light.

Now I guard a love unspoken,

But can she mend what’s been broken?

Beneath the beast, I’m breaking,

In the silence, my heart’s aching.

Her defiance, it stirs my soul,

A fire I thought the curse had stole.

Can she see past the fear in me,

To the man I long to be?

I want to tell her, but I’m bound by fate,

The truth lies heavy, though it’s not too late.

I’d tear the world apart for her to see,

There’s more than just a monster inside of me.

Beneath the beast, I’m breaking,

In the silence, my heart’s aching.

Her defiance, it stirs my soul,

A fire I thought the curse had stole.

Can she see past the fear in me,

To the man I long to be?

I’ll fight this curse, I’ll make her see,

The love inside the beast in me.
