V4.5-ALL

(Verse 1 – Eladarmi) Through storm and shadow north I roamed, Beyond the mount, beyond my home. The wastelands whispered, wild and wide— Yet something called from deep inside. A glacial heart of glass and stone, A shimmer sang, a voice my own. Within the ice, a feathered flame, A starsong blade that spoke my name. (Chorus 1 – Eladarmi, Asrai faint harmony) Whispers in the ice, Calling through the night. Bound by rune and sorrowed sigh, A soul that longed to fly. (Verse 2 – Eladarmi, Asrai echoing lines) Her voice—so small, yet fierce and bright, A spark beneath the northern light. “Asrai waits, stormborn one,” she cried, “Free me now, or fade inside.” The frost did break, the runes did glow, Magic surged like tidal snow. And from the starveil her spirit came— A living song, a whispered flame. (Chorus 2 – Both in harmony) Whispers in the ice, Now given form and light. Her laughter melts the frozen skies, My heart, my guide, my sprite. (Bridge – Asrai Only solo) Through blade and bond, through storm and flame, I live again, I speak your name... (Final Chorus – Both, soaring harmony) Whispers in the ice, Two hearts entwined in light. Through frozen winds and endless skies, We’ll wander side by side. (Outro – Asrai Only) “You found me… and I found home.”
