[Verse 1] Under moons of silver fire, we walked through smoke and flame. Every cut carved out a story, every cry I learned by name. Your edge was cold, your heart was steady, and I was steady too — but every soul you sent to shadow still walks the road with you. [Chorus] Steel and starlight, you were my only friend. Through the darkness, you saw me to the end. But every gleam that lit the night was paid in blood and fear, Steel and starlight… I lay you down right here. [Verse 2] We have drunk from rivers crimson, heard the drums in distant lands. You have slept beside my heartbeat, never leaving from my hands. But the weight has grown much heavier, and I can’t make you clean — for the ghosts that ride your silver still haunt the things I’ve seen. [Chorus] Steel and starlight, you were my only friend. Through the darkness, you saw me to the end. But every gleam that lit the night was paid in blood and fear, Steel and starlight… I lay you down right here. [Bridge] I am not your master, I am not your slave — we were just two shadows sharing one grave. Now I give you to the earth, and I release my hands — let the war sink with you into the sleeping lands. [Final Chorus] Steel and starlight, my brother in the fight, I bury you at morning under frost and fading light. The soil takes your memory, the stars keep what we’ve been — and I walk away unburdened, free from the war within.
