all hail the king | Eret’s Theme | based on the events that took place in the Dream SMP
@Eret — a traitor, a king, a friend.
I have this weird obsession of villainous characters. When I started watching some L’Manberg videos in late August (hehe), the betrayal was one of the first things that I looked for. When I watched The Proclamation live, I felt that even though he wanted to help Wilbur and Tommy as the king of the SMP, he couldn’t because of how he got the title.
His turning point for me was when he chose to fight with Pogtopia, which was against Dream’s wishes. Now you see, I always think of Dream as the god figure here. When he dethroned Eret, it just showed how much of a puppet the former king was. Now Eret’s on the throne once more (but fought with L’Manberg against the withers in the final war), we have yet to see the consequences of his actions.
I got interested in watching him because he blue screened in MCC8 in August. Since he streams in an Asian-friendly time slot, I watch his streams a LOT. He’s overall a chill streamer, a good builder, and a supportive content creator.
Thanks as well to the people who contributed their lovely singing and chanting for this song, and to those who submitted who unfortunately had expired/inaccessible links! I am so grateful for you being a part of this project.
Lyrics:
Inside the walls that I built for security
Inside the walls, there’s a conflict of liberty
I’ve built this myself, but I’m split for a prize
I’m tempted to join the other side
Inside the walls, there’s a war incoming
I’ve become a traitor in their eyes
In exchange of bettering my life
Weeks of trying not to slip from my disguise
My effective lies
What a sacrifice
And it’s lonely up here at the top
It’s getting cold here in my castle in the clouds
The people shouting after all the war, and they said
“Long live the king”
It may be lovely, I get to rule the world
But I’ll keep asking of who I really serve
The people shouting after all the war, and they said
“Long live the king”
Inside the walls, without me, they are prospering
Inside the walls, the society is growing
I’ve built my own, but they paid the price
It’s never meant to be, I thought
But I shouldn’t have lied
Inside my walls, now I’m forced to neutrality
Power lost, the leadership revised
Enabling tyranny to come and rise
My former comrades sent away to their demise
Those remained were spies
Never a surprise
And it’s lonely up here at the top
It’s getting cold here in my castle in the clouds
The people shouting after all the war, and they said
“Long live the king”
It may be lovely, I get to rule the world
But I’ll keep asking of who I really serve
The people shouting after all the war, and they said
“Long live the king”
I see them burn their flag and
I see them break their walls and
As I get crowned, the people singing
“All hail the king”
I see them take back their land and
I see myself on their side and
I lost my crown, the people still singing
“All hail the king”
“All hail the king”
“All hail the king”
