Lyrics:
Gilded Heart of the Court
From the album Cadence (January 9, 2026)
Opulence and Intrigue
Gold leaf hides the cracks in every throne.
Smiles sharpened like daggers behind silk.
Hearts beat in rhythm to whispered schemes.
Loyalty bought, betrayal priceless.
The court dances — every step a calculation.
Gilded, yes. Heartless, eternally.
Gilded heart of the court.
