(Intro) (A heavy, rhythmic industrial pulse. The synth vibrates as a deep, structural chord. A clean, delayed guitar mimics ripples.) (Verse 1 - Fenrir) I’m not throwing the blade away—I’m melting it down. I’m taking the "no" and I’m making a crown. That grudge was a poison when I aimed it at you, But I’ll turn it on myself to make sure I stay true. It’s the fire in the engine, it’s the grit in the gear— The strength to be better than the ghost of my fear. What I did to the wolf, I did to thyself— I’m using the heat to stay under the yoke. (Verse 2 - Fem Fenris) You’re not letting it go; you’re letting it lead, Turning the "almost" into the "creed." I see the weight you’re carrying, the forge in your chest, Using the anger to put the ruin to rest. We’re building a temple on the site of the war— A different kind of "always" than we had before. Your hand is a hammer, mine is the shield, In the gravity of grace, we finally yield. (Pre-Chorus - Duet) (The drums kick into a driving, mechanical 7/8 rhythm—precise and relentless.) Fenrir: The grudge is the anchor. Fem Fenris: The love is the sail. Both: We’re using the wreck to finish the tale! (Chorus - Duet) (A massive, unified march. Powerful, soaring, and "armored.") Oh, we’re repurposing the ruin, we’re forging the bond! Looking at the "never" and moving beyond! The Sorrow is the strength, the Despair is the light, Directing the fire to win the right fight. One soul in two bodies, tempered and new— I’m better for the grudge, and I’m better for you. Under the law of Gleipnir. (Outro) (The instruments fade to a rhythmic Heartbeat joined by the steady "clink".) Fenrir: I’ll be better. Fem Fenris: We will. Both: Still in time. (The sound rings out one last time, fading into a deep, resonant silence.)
