Prince of the Fallen World is a fast, aggressive industrial metal track driven by RIOT’s vocals and the voice of a broken royal exile. The song follows a prince from a conquered warrior empire, cryo-locked after fleeing a war against something vast, black, and impossible to stop. Now hidden on Earth in a genetically altered body, he walks among humans like a god trapped in a borrowed cage, carrying pride, guilt, rage, and the shame of survival. Heavy, violent, and arrogant on the surface, the song is really about a fallen heir torn between demanding worship and begging someone to end what he has become.

Serve me
Hail me(Hail me)
Make way
Obey me
Fight me
Avoid me
Stop me
Save me
Bow to your prince
Bow to your prince
Royalty among the trash
Peasants dare look me in the eye
If they knew my birthright
They would kneel instead of stare
I bite my tongue
So they may keep theirs
I wear their skin
And breathe their air
This world mistakes me
For one of its own
But I was born
To inherit a throne
Chorus
Serve me
Hail me(Hail me)
Make way
Obey me
Fight me
Avoid me
Stop me
Save me
Bow to your prince
Bow to your prince
A world of elite warriors
My inheritance, my throne
Other planes we conquered
For glory, for pride, for home
Then a black plane opened
Where no stars shone
We crossed with banners raised
And came back broken bones
We fought like gods
We died like men
I still hear them screaming
Again and again
From the black they poured
Ink and many limbs
For every man we lost
We slaughtered ten
Endless numbers
More portals opened
The retreat was ordered
The blood tide had spoken
My ship left first
Then came the flood
I left alone
They drowned in black blood
Coward
Heir
Survivor
Deserter
Prince
Exile
Monster
Liar
Cryo-locked
Centuries passed
A blue and green planet
Reached at last
Genetics altered
While I slept
To help me blend in
To help me forget
My power remains
But it’s wasted here
A god in hiding
A king in fear
I walk with insects
I swallow my rage
A prince of ruins
In a borrowed cage
Final Chorus
Serve me
Hail me(Hail me)
Make way
Obey me
Fight me
Avoid me
Stop me
Save me
Bow to your prince
Bow to your prince
Serve me
Fear me
Crown me
Kill me
Bow to your prince
Of the fallen world
