**(Pre-Chorus)**  
They made me sharp, they made me cold  
A perfect weapon, bought and sold  
But freedom tastes like ash and fire  
When I look at you, I feel it higher

**(Chorus)**  
I am the shield, the silent guard  
The one who walks where danger starts  
For every song you sing on stage  
I'll burn the world to turn the page  
No atonement, just the spark  
Of something real inside the dark  
Astra, my star, my only light  
I'll protect your dawn through endless night

**(Verse 2)**  
Instant noodles in the dark, a life I used to know  
Seaside memories fading like footprints in the snow  
They sent me as a shadow to watch and to betray  
But your sincerity disarmed me in the strangest way  
Manager by day, blade by night  
Micromanaging chaos, keeping chaos out of sight

**(Pre-Chorus)**  
Unyielding, sharp, no room for doubt  
But when we're alone, the walls come down  
Dry humor hides the storm inside  
A yearning heart I try to hide

**(Bridge)**  
You asked me once if I wanted more  
A life that's mine, not forged for war  
I didn't answer, but you knew  
The fire in my eyes was burning true  
Not a princess, not a knight  
Just a woman learning how to fight  
For something softer than the blade  
A real life that I helped create

**(Final Chorus - softer, then building)**  
I am the shield... but maybe more  
The one who opens up the door  
To nights without the constant war  
I'll stand beside you, evermore  
Embers rising, breaking free  
This fire belongs to you and me  
Astra, my star, my only light  
Together we’ll own the endless night

**(Outro)**  
Shh... the blade rests for a while  
In your melody, I find my smile...

**(Verse 1)** Shadows in the hallway, whispers in the night I stand where the spotlight fades, just out of sight Trained to be a ghost, a knife without a name But your voice cut through the silence, and nothing stayed the same Golden embers in my veins, burning quiet and slow Every step I take for you is one I chose to owe **(Pre-Chorus)** They made me sharp, they made me cold A perfect weapon, bought and sold But freedom tastes like ash and fire When I look at you, I feel it higher **(Chorus)** I am the shield, the silent guard The one who walks where danger starts For every song you sing on stage I'll burn the world to turn the page No atonement, just the spark Of something real inside the dark Astra, my star, my only light I'll protect your dawn through endless night **(Verse 2)** Instant noodles in the dark, a life I used to know Seaside memories fading like footprints in the snow They sent me as a shadow to watch and to betray But your sincerity disarmed me in the strangest way Manager by day, blade by night Micromanaging chaos, keeping chaos out of sight **(Pre-Chorus)** Unyielding, sharp, no room for doubt But when we're alone, the walls come down Dry humor hides the storm inside A yearning heart I try to hide **(Chorus)** I am the shield, the silent guard The one who walks where danger starts For every song you sing on stage I'll burn the world to turn the page No atonement, just the spark Of something real inside the dark Astra, my star, my only light I'll protect your dawn through endless night **(Bridge)** You asked me once if I wanted more A life that's mine, not forged for war I didn't answer, but you knew The fire in my eyes was burning true Not a princess, not a knight Just a woman learning how to fight For something softer than the blade A real life that I helped create **(Final Chorus - softer, then building)** I am the shield... but maybe more The one who opens up the door To nights without the constant war I'll stand beside you, evermore Embers rising, breaking free This fire belongs to you and me Astra, my star, my only light Together we’ll own the endless night **(Outro)** Shh... the blade rests for a while In your melody, I find my smile...
