Name: Oaths Before the Crown by Volant Records
Duration: 4 min 14 s
Description: In a solemn chamber lit by torches, Percival stands before Richard, now king, and formally pledges his service. The moment is calm and steady, without spectacle. His oath is not just a promise of courage in battle—it is a promise of fidelity to the responsibilities placed on him. The weight of that vow settles deeply into his character.

Lonely Verse is the fourth entry in the six-album Verse Series under Volant Records, following Anxious Verse, Thankful Verse, and Angry Verse.

Where the earlier volumes explore fear, gratitude, and righteous emotion, Lonely Verse sits inside the quiet ache of solitude — opening the door to raw prayers, soft tears, and the longing of a heart that wonders if anyone sees or stays.

Across fifteen Scripture-centered devotionals, the album moves through the many shapes of loneliness:
darkness that feels overwhelming
silence where support should be
ache formed by early wounds
tears collected by God Himself
distance felt even in crowded rooms
courage found when God stands near
deep rest that only God can give

Each track places the exact Scripture as the Chorus — the anchor — while the verses and bridges explore the emotional shape of loneliness and the comfort of divine presence.
The instrumentation remains gentle and spacious: warm pads, tender piano, and calming ambient textures.

Lonely Verse flows from trembling isolation to quiet resilience, ending with peace and safety.
It accompanies the other Verse albums — Anxious, Thankful, Angry, Sad, and Happy — creating a complete emotional and devotional journey.

Alone but Not Abandoned

At Middleham, Percival enters a world of discipline and structure. Knights train daily, pages and squires rush through the courtyards, and every man understands his duty. Percival learns to stand in formation, to carry himself with dignity, and to respect the chain of command. Under Richard’s leadership, he finds an environment that values order, loyalty, and clarity of purpose.

Richard’s Household Guard

In a solemn chamber lit by torches, Percival stands before Richard, now king, and formally pledges his service. The moment is calm and steady, without spectacle. His oath is not just a promise of courage in battle—it is a promise of fidelity to the responsibilities placed on him. The weight of that vow settles deeply into his character.

Oaths Before the Crown

A child is born who will become a scholar, a bishop, and a voice of integrity in the Victorian age.
Though he arrives in an era far removed from Bosworth, he inherits the steady strength of the generations before him.
This final track closes the album by preparing the ground for Album III, where Connop’s life, scholarship, and spiritual leadership take center stage.

The Birth of Connop

In his final years, Connop’s days grow slower, yet his spirit remains steady. Thoughts drift gently through memory, scholarship, and devotion. The quiet strength at the core of his life shines softly, leaving a lasting impression on those who knew him and those who will read his works long after.

A Mind at Rest, A Faith Still Burning

The cycle concludes with a vision of a legacy still expanding. The triumph is gentle, patient, and enduring. Connop’s life—built on scholarship, fairness, and thoughtful leadership—continues to shape minds and hearts, long after the final page is turned.
