[Narrative Intro – Spoken Flow, Male Lead] Lion tracks down by the river bend, Fresh like a warning Heaven sends. I told our sons, “Run, go tell the rest — A storm is coming, prepare for test.” But when I saw that fire in their eyes, I felt the power, old as the skies. That same fierce light I used to know, Long ago, before the winds would blow. [Verse 1 – The Memory Awakens] I knew the moment I saw her, Changed by the fruit, alive with flame. First woman, first queen, first mother, My heart would never be the same. Her lips spoke truth and carried fire, A love that burned beyond desire. We broke the silence, broke the plan, And I swore my soul to love this woman. [Pre-Chorus – Melodic Build-Up] In her gaze, creation rose, Light and shadow came so close. Man and woman, faith and flame, Bound as one, yet never the same. [Chorus – Uplifting Melody] From my rib she was born, now more than a part, Her change like thunder, stirring my heart. No longer just a cure for a lonely soul, In her fire, I found my role. I will protect her, I will protect her, I will protect her, I will protect her. [Verse 2 – The Present Moment Returns] Now I see that fire again, In our sons who walk the plain. The air is still — too still to trust, The scent of storm, the taste of dust. One’s calm hides rage that waits to break, The other’s peace too pure to fake. She feels it too — the trembling ground, When Heaven stirs, no heart is sound. [Bridge – Dual Reflection, Male and Female] (Female) Hold the light when night grows strong. (Male) Guard the heart that’s walked so long. (Both) We know the beast, we know the cost, We love the world that Eden lost. The storm within, the storm above, Still we stand and choose to love. [Chorus – Rising Harmony] From my rib she was born, now more than a part, Her change like thunder, stirring my heart. No longer just a cure for a lonely soul, In her fire, I found my role. I will protect her, I will protect her, I will protect her, I will protect her. [Final Verse – Foreshadowing the Storm] We see the fire in each one’s eyes, One earns his strength, one blessed by skies. Both carry spark the Maker gave, Both born to build — or born to brave. The might of one, the grace of other, Still both our sons, still both each other. So I lift my voice above the plain, “Let neither be consumed by flame.” [Final Chorus – Ensemble, Full Orchestra] I will protect her, through flame and flood, I will protect her, by sweat and blood. No beast, no blade, no chain can sever, I will protect her — now and forever. [Outro – Spoken Reflection, Male Lead] Before the rain, before the fall, Love remains the greatest call. Even when storm and silence war, Love will protect… like before.
