LYRICS:

The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way.
The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
no matter the lives of the people before me,
All that I seek is the path to glory, glory.

Chips in my pocket and blood stains on my hands,
I'm building my legacy right here in the sand.
I’ll stay until the end and watch it go down in flames
Yeah, maybe the path is gory,
Whatever it takes to get my glory, glory.

I was told I had to walk away,
Leave my enemies to rot in their own grave.
But scars don't heal, I've given blood a taste.
I'll fake the smile they've seen before,
They'll see I am so much more.

So,
The rule of the land, it's so crucial to obey.
Believe in yourself, or you won't be appreciated.
Don't you overthink it, just do what I say.
Lay the politics out before me,
Whatever it takes to get my glory.

You need all the power and the fame.
Cuz that's the game.
You've been kicked into the sand.
I've built something better than
What you could ever dream of on your own.

The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way.
The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
no matter the lives of the people before me,
All that I seek is the path to glory.

My legacy,
My glory, ah!

    This is the song that will hit #1 in less than 30 mins!
  • Quackity is one of those antagonists you can’t help but root for. He’s such an interesting and fun character, not really a villain, but definitely not a hero. This is the most amazing Quackity song I’ve ever heard. Another amazing one, CG5!!!
  • @ZinWolff
    What we all expected Quackity's villain arc to be like: What we got instead: B A Z I N G A
  • @nahsg
    Ya know, now that I'm looking back on it... Quakity has to be one of, if not the best dsmp characters. His dynamics with other characters, his character arc, his story, it's all just so well thought and amazing.
  • @azucar_skull
    I'm obsessed with the diamond symbolism. In the deck of cards, the diamonds are the people who see the value in things whether material or people. It really fits Quackity's character. Great job to everyone who worked on it!
  • @TectonicBlaze
    I was not expecting this at all but as CG5 did with his other character songs, I think CG5 really puts more time then we realize into not just understanding the characters, but their motives and expectation. It’s beautiful and it’s a musical talent you don’t see everyday. Absolutely outstanding
  • @manhap9754
    1:43 with the parallels with how quackity wasn’t allowed to join lmanburg, wilbur’s nation, and then when quackity makes lad nevadas, a nation of his own, the only person he bans from joining is wilbur. the way they showed that was phenomenal. this animatic is literally god
  • @Felix-Lupin
    0:30 & 1:27 I love how his axe is positioned in such a way that when it becomes shadowed it almost looks like a crown
  • @manpan1
    This song perfectly shows the rise and fall of Quackity as a character in the DSMP. The flow of the animation, all the hidden details like the ending shot, if you pause, you see the word “legacy”. Or describing the tragic downfall of Simleicle when he and Quackity were betrayed by Purpled. I swear I could hear Slimcile’s last line of talking about how it was nice to be shown what it was like to be human… and that maybe he almost was. Quackity may be a anti hero more than a villain but damnit he has a villain song that will be on my playlist on loop now! Thank you Charlie!
  • @mscwhim1412
    I love how this song feels like it also pays a bit of tribute to Quackity's style of lore telling, like, the dramatics, the buildup and time to really make sure the story is delivered - this song is just solid. So absolutely well made from top to bottom and I sincerely hope it gets the listens it deserves < 3 Everyone involved did a beautiful job, kudos y'all
  • @ilikecatsandtos2
    I know DSMP isn't very popular anymore but we need a Fundy song. He's one of the most tragic DSMP characters.
  • @syahgisi4226
    Ya know what, disney should hire cg5 to do their villain songs, i mean they have been aubviously leaning to this type of music with their songs. But cg5 knows how to do it right! Take some notes disney!
  • @ali103070
    So I’m taking a risk here. I am a parent whose kid introduced me to your music. As someone “older”, you sir are someone who comes along once in a lifetime. You have so much talent when it comes to your writing and your vision. I wish you a lifetime of good fortune.
  • This is a clear example of Charlie taking a song seriously Usually, CG5 just pulls out 2 songs every month and half. But this was worked for months so it can be polished and feel perfect. Congratulations, I can perfectly see this into a movie.
  • @yaskravazirka
    I love how quackity's smile still has square edges, resembling his profile: ":]"
  • @Evetteluvsclaire
    Ain’t no way this song came out almost a year ago- I literally remember seeing the countdown on it
  • For his short time on the SMP, Slimecicle was one of the most memorable and impactful characters... really impressive work tbn
  • @KittenSneeze
    CG5 is really transcending the definition of “fan song” by making full blown motion-picture level quality pieces —- this rocked my world dude, you’ve come so far and this is incredible. Huge congrats to everyone involved.💚
  • @Kira_GPZ
    I think it's really cool how you drew/animated Quackity's scar as one of the cards in gambling games, referring to his casino or even his personality itself, or the song, either that or I'm probably just overlooking it
