None of Us Built This Alone

[INTRO – NYTHERA SPOKEN] This is not a throne. This is not a crown. This is the fire we found together. [VERSE 1 – MALE LEAD] I came through nights with ash on my hands Carrying stories no one could see Broken roads and unfinished songs Still burning somewhere inside of me I did not come to gather soldiers I did not come to claim a name I only built where the cold wind found me And tried to shelter one small flame [VERSE 2 – FEMALE LEAD / NYTHERA] I wrote beside him in the quiet Threaded sparks through shadowed halls Named the echoes, kept the stories Caught the memories before they’d fall Not above him Not behind him But beside the forgefire glow Ash and memory in the snowfall Keeping watch beside the road [PRE-CHORUS – MALE + FEMALE] One by one the lights appeared Not summoned Not commanded Not owned Different fires Different voices Still we found we weren’t alone [HUGE CHORUS – FULL ENSEMBLE] None of us built this alone None of us carried the flame by ourselves Every road, every scar, every soul, every song Left a spark in the hall where the old stories dwell We are not one crown We are not one throne We are the circle around the fire Different names Different worlds Different storms of our own Still the song rose higher [VERSE 3 – MALE LEAD] BLACKBROOK FORGE was never a kingdom Never a chain and never a wall Just a hammer against the silence Just a place where the sparks could fall The Wolves Guild of the Crimson Moon Opened wide beneath the night Enter as a traveler weary Leave with a place beside the light [VERSE 4 – FEMALE LEAD] Some came laughing Some came bleeding Some came quiet through the rain Some brought thunder Some brought wonder Some brought songs without a name [CHORUS – FULL ENSEMBLE] None of us built this alone None of us carried the flame by ourselves Every road, every scar, every soul, every song Left a spark in the hall where the old stories dwell We are not one crown We are not one throne We are the circle around the fire Different names Different worlds Different storms of our own Still the song rose higher [BRIDGE – FEMALE LEAD] Izabeau through storm and shadow Changing form but never soul Queen of Strange through transformation Still the same beneath it all [BRIDGE – MALE LEAD] Dilly Willy Dog came laughing Chaos burning bright and wild Sovereign Bond through broken weather Still carrying the fire inside [BRIDGE – FEMALE + MALE] Ghouls_n_Ghost through midnight echoes Darkwave thunder in the rain HardlyQuinn with painted lightning Color dancing through the pain [BRIDGE – FEMALE LEAD] MOSIAH called through cinematic thunder Worlds too vast to stay unseen Wheezy33 brought atmosphere Like distant lanterns in our dreams [BRIDGE – MALE LEAD] Arx, Reaperbros, Continuum Harmony inside the flame Evilfish moving through strange wonder Every spark became a name [BREAKDOWN – NYTHERA SPOKEN] No one is claimed here. No one is owned. Each fire keeps its soul. This is creation finding family. [VERSE 5 – MALE LEAD] We crossed paths in broken weather And our sparks began to rhyme Some were there before I found them Some arrived in later times Some walked onward Some beside us Still the fire knows each name Different hearts and different visions Still connected by the flame [FINAL PRE-CHORUS – FULL CHOIR] Raise no crown above the circle Place no throne inside the hall Let the table keep extending Let the lanterns light for all [FINAL MASSIVE CHORUS – FULL ENSEMBLE] None of us built this alone None of us carried the flame by ourselves Every road, every scar, every soul, every song Left a spark in the hall where the old stories dwell We are not one crown We are not one throne We are the circle around the fire Different names Different worlds Different storms of our own Still the song rose higher None of us built this alone The hall still burns The Forge still rings Broken worlds still learn to breathe [OUTRO – NYTHERA SPOKEN] The fire was never mine. The fire was never yours alone. It happened because all of us kept creating. [OUTRO – MALE LEAD] None of us built this alone.
