Dragon-Blooded: Ego-Dissolving Deception (Isayuri)

(Verse 1) I remember walking a path through withered thorns, A forest dying, then reborn. A Witch’s voice, a haunting call, I rose as I watched her fall. (Pre-Chorus) I cut her down, her shadow fades, But why do I feel her in the shade? A ghostly weight beneath my skin, A battle fought, but did I win? (Chorus) I drowned a Witch in the depths, Held her down, but why do I hear her steps? The echoes linger, whispers stay, A truth locked so far away. I am a slayer, I bear my name, But in the mirror, I see her face. (Verse 2) Her traps were set, her thorns entwined, Her labyrinth tried to keep me confined. But I pierced the veil, I took her crown, Yet vines of doubt still pull me down. (Pre-Chorus) The Witch is gone, I cannot deny, But still her shadow haunts my eyes. Her voice, it whispers in the breeze, A tale of lies, a soul’s unease. (Chorus) I drowned the Witch in the depths below, Silenced her voice, but her whispers grow. The echoes linger, whispers stay, A truth locked so far away. I am her slayer, why do I bear her name? In the mirror, I see her face. (Bridge) Was it her blood, or was it mine? The forest weeps, the roots entwine. What did I kill, what did I save? Thorns still bloom in an empty grave. I disarmed my traps, my thorns tried to stay entwined, I navigated a labyrinth carved within my mind. I pierced the veil, I took my crown, It is my own hands that pull me down. (Final Chorus) I drowned myself in the depths of memory, Chained my spirit to be me. The echoes linger, whispers stay, A truth I locked so far away. I slayed a shadow as I began my new life, Yet one day, she might arise. (Outro) I drowned the Witch, or so I say, But in my heart, she finds her way.
