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!

Agreee its so good!
Hi Sadist!

This is the song that will hit #1 in less than 30 mins!
In less then 10 seconds
If this song doesn’t reach #1 I’m gonna be so mad! He worked so hard on it and I would hate for a dumb Cocomellon video to beat this masterpiece!
O my god
30 mins is too much , try 30 seconds

What we got instead: B A Z I N G A
B A Z I N G A
B A Z I N G A
B A Z I N G A

B A Z I N G A
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.
He was a very interesting character for sure. ^^
MY SONGS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL OF THESE COMBINED. YOU HAVE TO BE DEAF TO NOT HEAR THAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fr loved him I wish we saw how las Nevada truly ended
What does DSMP stand for and where can you watch it?
@@Paisley_MultiFairy dream smp
And I suggest you watch Evans documentary since it’s Minecraft series with multiple points of view just type in “dsmp documentary” or I can give you the link
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!!!
anti-hero
@@elwei7055 yeah
Or deadpool idk i could be wrong
i would have never guessed this is quakity
Yes
So many neat details here. The playing cards are designed with Quackity's face on them, and when he's holding the trident, the silhouette makes it look like he's wearing a crown. Beautiful, masterfully designed and animated.
No replies??
Wait that wasn't a crown?
As someone who has watched barely any streams, mostly just stuff from UA-cam, I interpreted the trident as devil horns. Now that you say that, I can see that it's a crown, but I think both make sense thematically (you're definitely closer though, the song is called "Lonely King" after all)
bro now I can't unsee it
My goodness. The most likes I've ever had is 20. This is a big step up. Thanks, everyone!
“You’ve been kicked into the sand, i’ve built something than what you could ever dream of on your own.” The greatest line in the whole song.
Mhm. I don’t really know why, but I feel like that line was probably the most iconic with great beat with it
Is it just me or is this song just so addicting
@@ashleyluna4497 true
I replay it over and over, the way he sings the line is perfect.
@limadsen5833 Same here.
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
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.
I don't get what the risk is or even how being a parent are but, glad you liked his song :D
@@endershadow2315 because I’m “older”. I didn’t want to be seen as “ancient” lol.
Oh wow. It's so cool that your kid shares their interests with you like that. It means that they trust you with their hobbies. That's rare
@@oppooopoookjgffghjookjjj4531 yeah, I have a pretty great kid. I might be the only parent out there that knows The Dream SMP! lol
@@archivalsociety lol, for the longest time “Why did the chicken cross the road” was my ringtone. I’m weird like that. Ha ha.
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!
yeah
I am too lol
What’s the ending about ? Did quakity change and what was the being for the change ?
Hi
Hi
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
I love how quackity's smile still has square edges, resembling his profile: ":]"
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!
so true
@criminal • 1.3B views • 4 seconds ago. ~ 4 seconds ago lol
Aasdfc
Do any of you know when Purpled joined? He was actually forced into it, before that, Quackity blew up his home.
yes YES
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

I know DSMP isn't very popular anymore but we need a Fundy song. He's one of the most tragic DSMP characters.
Completely agree dude!
Damn this is my second most popular comment thanks -
Huh, why do you say so? I haven't followed dsmp as closely as I'd like so I'm curious to learn his story.
I am obsessed with the part at 01:05. The slow transition from a bitter, almost melancholic tune to a sinister, all encompassing crescendo gives me so much joy. The slight vocal echo and the chorus of voices give this scene a large impression, like standing in an auditorium or an empty stage, and the sound of sax slowly descending to low notes makes me think of Quackity's slow descendance into his corrupted drive for power, for lack of a better description. And the way the lyrics were delivered, that evil laugh and the gleeful "Ooh yeah!" just ties everything up sooo nicely! And the visuals! Gosh, don't get me started on that one.
I can see gow much thought went into this song, how much care went into the portrayal of Quackity the character and his story. I'm just- blown away;
Lol same it was a 10
Honestly my favorite part started at 0:00 and ended at 3:37

THIS GUY A MUSIC MAJOR
This genuinely feels like a villain song that you just get stuck in your head and can't stop singing!
The part where he yells sound very nice and show perfectly the desperation to be on control and get what he wants, it has a perfect way of showing c!quackity's way of thinking and acting!
Another great song that's definitely going into my playlist :)
Like "Other Friends"?
Good choice
dude the scariest part about the scream is how much it sounds like quackity, I matched it with a real quackity scream and its like- wow.

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
I agree, even if i dont like listening to the style of music he produces i still think he is really good at it, i also respect him for understanding the characters
CG5 is an amazing artist and I very much agree with your point. The emotion put into the song including that orchestral kinda part is so different and fits perfectly into everything
What are the characters in the song from? I’ve never heard of what ever series their from
@@spoupsmcdoups this song is about quackity, specifically his role in the dream smp
You know I think your right, I think that Cg5 gets himself deep into the lore in order to make sure he knows the character so he can get every detail absolutely spot on
Um, I'm sorry, but who gave you guys the right to make this masterpiece? I swear, from the animation, to the music itself, its as if you transported me into some sort of magical land. I'm completely speechless!
need a license to make gold!

It's so hard to believe this is a year old... I literally almost started breaking into tears when i listened to this again, this past year was so awesome and I miss the people who made it awesome.

For his short time on the SMP, Slimecicle was one of the most memorable and impactful characters... really impressive work tbn
Noice
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.
you. are. a. GENIUS.

@@CommunistDogSupremacy I could see this in a movie too. I know another music artist who goes by Eve. He makes Japanese music that is so cool and they all tell a story. Also there is another one called Thai McGrath, there are so many good music artists out there.
Fun fact of the day! The scar on Quackity's face is actually from Technoblade, Q chased him after he escaped his execution and Techno yelled this: "I have a pickaxe, and I'll put it through your teeth!" So yeah, Techno slashed his face with a pickaxe, that also blinded eye :3
Quackity needs to see this
Literal definition of "worth the wait." School literally started last week for me and this is the most/only exciting thing I've experienced in a quite a while. I enjoy this song so much to the point that I can't enjoy this song more. Hats off to you, Charlie.

Sounds a bit like Quackity too
SO YES OVER THINK IT AND DONT DO WHAT I SAY
It’s just somehow scratches the perfect place in brain
This marks one year of the king

Same. Been listening to it since the second it premiered.

This was kinda the last good song he made [excluding 4GET]
I have never watched the Dream SMP, and this leads me to believe it has some insane house-of-cards narrative that requires hours and hours of catch up to understand.
As someone who has watched the whole Dream SMP since the beginning… it does
You're not wrong ig
Yes. Yes it does.
Mhm, took me a good five months to catch myself up
If you watch enough of this sort of thing you figure out quite a bit of it
I think one thing a lot of people overlook with this song thats so cool is how much you actually sound like Quackity when you're shouting in rage. Like obviously it's more musical than his screams, but it really sounds quite similar to him
frr i noticed that too

Ok but he has if wrre being legit and honest he has made a bad song
@@Puppylover720 i enjoy every single song of his , old ones , new ones, covers , remixes , everything , no joke. And even if u or any1 dislikes one thats their opinion ,it dosn't mean their bad ,so thecnically he didn't do any bad songs ever.
@chip I agree. not everything is gonna be perfect, and cg5 himself might not like all his songs. i definitely have different opinions on different songs, and if someone wants to say all his songs are good, then okay. that’s their opinion, and between you and me (i think) we disagree with that.
@@FriskyVivitfilia yes. everyone’s opinion is different. I just think all his songs are great. thank you for saying this :]

🎉 1:52
1 year later this song still gives me chills, even if I’ve left my dsmp phase I’ll still always love the dsmp songs CG5 has made, this song in specific is so perfect, probably my favorite dsmp related song CG5 has made

This is now my favorite Dream SMP themed song
Proper Disney villain vibes here, it's so good
And the animation is also fantastic, there's so much to analyse
Ikr
I agree
Seek what are you doing here?!
I love how this came out not too late after you teased the dsmp mod, I'm really hyped for that and now I hope you have a quackity song
THERES SO MUCH DETAILS AND REFERENCES, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE HYPE AND THE WAIT
You can see in 0:25 for a brief moment that the card flashes to a reversed scene with the heart card crossed out and the quackity smile on top, which could mean that quackity is heartbroken and doesn’t rely on emotions anymore
And in 0:32 the trident was positioned to look like a crown in the silhouette, a throwback to the title “lonely king” referring to quackity, which has thrown away all his friends and loved ones, therefore the “lonely king”
In 0:34, the machine showed three sevens, which means luck but the other columns showed two engagement rings, which signifies the relationship of karlnapity, as the other, shears, signifies his “visits” in prison
In 0:39, you can see that some cards were coloured as different characters, with the top, C!Tommy and C!slime, being the ones quackity viewed as most important and the ones below them members of Las Nevadas
From 0:50-0:54, shows the two countries c!quackity longed to be but cannot. L’manburg and Kinoko Kingdom.
From 0:58-1:01, shows the character arcs quackity had and the person he hated most at that moment, in order being:
Election arc, C!Jschlatt
Butcher arc, C!Technoblade
Divorce arc: C!Karl Jacobs
Las Nevadas arc, C!Wilbur
In 1:03, “I’ll fake the smile they’ve seen before” the smile referring to c!dream’s smile, which is shown in the background, “fake the smile” meaning that he’ll turn to the ways of tyranny and aim to “the path of glory”
1:13 HAS SO MUCH REFERENCES I CAN ONLY TELL THE ONES I UNDERSTAND- in each shard was a different scene. You can see where c!quackity was persuading c!foolish to join Las Nevadas. Three engagement rings. The night where c!Quackity found c!slime. His scar. An axe. Poker chips. His wings. When he blew up c!purpled’s ufo. His “sessions” with c!dream. Him fighting with c!revivebur. The red banquet and the egg. C!Fundy’s dreams. A pickaxe. C!Technoblade’s failed execution. Those are only some I could tell
In 1:33, quackity has c!Tommy in his hand, meaning literally, he has c!Tommy in the palm of his hands and in which gained a new ally. As shown in 1:39, a new card, c!Tommy has been added to his collection.
The scene from 1:45-1:47 shows that c!quackity was rejected from C!Wilbur’s country in the beginning, then him later rejecting c!wilbur from his country, Las Nevadas later on. With C!Quackity being the one left in the dust replaced with C!Wilbur. With the references: “you’ve been kicked into the sand, I’ve built something better than what you could ever dream of on your own” referring to that c!quackity built Las Nevadas in the desert, which then he kicked c!Wilbur out of. Las Nevadas, being one of the successful and stable countries at the time, wasn’t faced with any obstacles or blown up, like L’manburg did, therefore the ‘I’ve built something than what you could ever dream of on your own”.
From 0:52-2:01, shows the crew of Las Nevadas, with the portrait of c!purpled slowly falling off showing his betrayal and hatred towards c!quackity revealed, as c!quackity was the one who blew up his ufo in attempt of manipulating him. That he remembered and vowed for revenge. which then later resulted in the death of c!slime as seen later from 2:02-2:42
From the silhouette in 2:48, c!Quackity is shown holding three cards, which may be reference as to him losing two of his crew, c!purpled and c!slime.
From 3:02 to 3:03, c!quackity is positioned like how a king is in a deck of poker cards. Another reference to the title: “Lonely King”
The lyrics: “the role of the king is a lonely one to play, but cards in the ring has been dealt in the wrong way.” Means that c!quackity wasn’t always like this. Powerhungry, manipulative and apathetic. But he had seen too much going on in the field. Resulting him to step in.
I think that’s all I could interpret! such a beautiful piece.
Oh wow- that definitely took long to write- AND I AGREE :DD
You could also add in 1:07 you can see quackery holding shears which is referencing quackery trying to get the revival book from dream which is also on one of the shards in 1:13
Continuing on about the picture frames, for purpled it looks like he being pushed on to, it showing his unwillingness to obey quackity
Definitely underrated comment good job man
holy thats a good wall of text, looked at it all.
THE STANS ARE GOING CRAZY
1:30
7 months later and this is still my favorite part in the song. Tommy in Quackity’s hand. The song reached this part which gives goosebumps every time I listen to it with all the echo effect and all that. The music just reached this amazing point which sounds just so good. 🥲🥲🥹
This song hits harder than my parents.
This song is stuck in my head like my depression! 🎶 🗣️
This is genuinely one of the BEST DSMP songs I’ve heard. Like with Derivakat’s REVIVED, the use of more than just singing really throws you for a loop and lets it feel more dramatic like a musical. It’s so cool to hear the yelling in this because of that and it makes me want to just sit here for hours rewatching the whole thing again and again to pick it apart. Great job to CG5 and DICE Shimi!! You guys did a fantastic job on this one!! :)
Agreed! I like the connection to REVIVED and the two sound kinda similar.
When I saw "more than just singing" I was like "what how many people don't have instruments in their songs" and then I realized what you meant lol
I personally like some of the songs of the smp album from Derivakat the best
I’m not apart of this fandom but I’ve been a fan of your music and seen some of the “tension” caused with people wanting this song and I know of the tragic loss recently. I just want to say I feel a great amount of respect for you choosing to see this through despite all that’s happened. In a way it feels like closure.

Happy 1st Anniversary 🃏
as someone who has no clue what the dream smp lore is all about, you've driven me to become more interested about it. ever since you first announced about this song, i've been anticipating for it despite not knowing anything about what it's about. i've been playing this on loop for HOURS now, i've become obsessed with it. this was definitely worth the wait, and it'd take a hell of a long time for me to get over humming this tune. you're doing gods work releasing music you've worked so hard for. you're a one of a kind content creator and i love that.
edit: props to the animator & everyone involved in this project as well! really captured the emotions of this song in a whole new level
i wrote a simplified version of the main dsmp lore like yesterday for someone else in the yt comment section, if you want a quick and easy summary of the lore so far!
Lol same
Basically the lore has more angst than the whole freaking smp in itself from the wars to the deaths its actually is very cool once you look deeper under the iceburg of it

The song as a whole is astounding, so cinematic, and the melodie’s are just, *chef’s kiss* top notch. Vocals, legit, seriously. I feel like you outdid yourself more than you have on any other song so far. I could feel the emotion in your voice, and it gave me chills. And also huuuge props to the animator, the finished product is so good, and i wish i could draw like that lol. This long awaited masterpiece turned out perfect, and we’re all satisfied. even if someone isn’t, they’re satisfied and they just don’t know it. ♥♥♥

"The perfect song to start my Villain Arc!"
awesome animation!
"The role of a king is a lonely one," has been repeating in my head over and over for what feels like ages. It'll be nice to finally hear the whole song and sing more than that singular line.
same but with "to play" afterwards
@@mythical-_- lul
For real tho-
The role of the king is Lonely one to play the cards in the ring have been Delted the wrong way
The fact that the cards hve special colours which represents dif peeps in the sp just shows how much homeork the animation team has done
What blows my mind is it wasn't even a team, just one person-- they really went all out in research!
@@Sukiato actually it kinda was. The one minute orchestral section wasn't by CG5, and there was also an animator: DICE shimi.
@@haydennolke dice shimi did all of the animation
Haha grammar go brrrrrr
They watched all of the DSMP lore😂
Been a year since this incredible song was released already!
Listening to this again after a year just hits different
So proud of how much Charlie’s grown. 23k people at the premiere? Definitely deserved. GOOD JOB CHARLIE!!
ikr, but the hype at the premier was amazing!
@@C_Films. Exactly!
lets go
Ikr
This is absolutely incredible. I can almost hear all the hours and hard work invested into this song. The purely instrumental sectional was also such a creative way to tell the story. Once again Charlie, I am thoroughly impressed. Hats off to everyone who worked on this.
this is cool ON MY B DAY to
@@termsdiscord5069 oooOoooo happy birthday!
Same bro
@@termsdiscord5069 nice
I really wanna see what he looked like singing this..
This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST villain song I have ever heard!!
I listen to this SO much, even though I’ve never seen DreamSMP.
Good work, Charlie! 🐰❤️
(For all the fnaf fans: tell me this would not be PERFECT for a William Afton animation?!)
This was just down-right gorgeous in every single way! Not to mention the animation was so amazing as well! Props to CG5 and Dice Shimi!
Lets take a moment to appreciate the animator(diceshimi) and how they probably poured their heart, soul and time into creating this masterpiece of an absolutely perfect animation
There’s a video about. The prototype of LONELY KING by diceshimi.
yea they actually like drawing quackity so they definetly went all out with this
Idk why, but my favorite part is how they designed the faces of Schlatt, Techno and Wilbur. Kind of weird, but I like it a lot
No they didn’t, they poured their life organs soul time and blood into it
They definitely did
Technoblade never dies.
cant believe quackity hasnt acknowledged such a huge tribute to him??
CG5 used ALL of his vocal prowess for this song. The instrumental sections are larger than life and I am lost in them! Love this track!
i know!!!i can't wait for itttt
btw ily ur videos
@Bully peter I know right? The song is here, after the impatience of others it's finally here.
Ayee, Nate! I love your vids, probably the best reaction youtuber.
Can confirm this was more than worth the wait. hope to see a reaction video to it soon.
I literally can’t wait for this! I ended up pre-saving it on Spotify a few days ago and have been so excited since! HHDHCHFHDDHR😌
cool
Same!
cool
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
im so excited as well! charlie has been working on this for a while now and im so happy to see it’s finally out!
@Leo Valdez
Im supposing you've read Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, correct?
Why does the thumbnail give me “looks likes you could use some help, from the big boss of hell” vibes
AINT NO WAY
Lyrics: Yeah, Hey 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 (hmm, 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 (hmm, 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
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ooh, yeah! 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 (hmm, glory, glory)
You! You need all the power and the fame!
'Cause 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 glory, ah!
This song would be perfect in a musical. I can see the choreography in my head. We need a DSMP musical just so CG5 can write the music.
YEEES
frrrrrr
Most definitely
yes
He wrote a Techno song, Dream song, Ranboo song, and now this one. That’s FOUR SONGS. He needs to make a DSMP musical.
POP OFF!!!!! This is fantastic. Love the passion put into this, you can feel it throughout the whole thing. gg to everyone
DHeusta Brought me here
wassap DHeusta
Came here from his stream lol
I listened to this song when it first came out and didn’t think much of it but now that I have heard it again it has become one of my songs that I would listen to over and over again this is a great song and I hope there will be many great masterpieces to follow you are a great musician Cg5
It’s already been a year and still my favorite song 🥲
2:51 I LOVE that part I literally get chills on the held out glory part. The wait was definitely worth it, I am so impressed with all your work CG5, keep it up.
@@CaTs0rG Ikr
Same
It’s SO good
So true
Same
The attention to detail is insane. Like Quackity standing in front of L’manberg after being kicked out, and then it’s Wilbur standing in front of Las Nevadas after being rejected to come in, with Dream in the background.
That’s a key hole
@Eggs the Dino! *Sus mode activated* -Master oogway
its a pawn i think, like from chess???? look at it again.
@@alexandrasheffey3141 Could be a lot of things
Wow... These get better and better.... The role of the king is a lonely one to play... Love it CG5
