///*****/// [Overture] In the vast Oakhaven command camp lit by watchfires, siege furnaces, and the glow of the unstable forest. Eldrin moves beneath supply wagons and canvas shadows while roots quietly extinguish torches behind him. The old war enters on a drumbeat, but another rhythm waits beneath it. [Verse I] He avoids killing common soldiers, sabotages engines, frees prisoners, and recruits the young guard who loosened Lyra's cage. Steel gives every frightened answer the same hard voice, yet the ground receives the blood without asking which language named it. I carry the weight of orders and the quieter weight of doubt. Somewhere beyond the visible battle, a patient hand adjusts the board. [Pre-Chorus] Rescue without slaughter becomes his final proof that refusing the war is not weakness. If conscience is a wound, let it remain open until truth enters. [Chorus] Through a thousand fires I run Not for vengeance, not for one Every chain I break tonight Opens one more road to light Through a thousand fires I run Not for vengeance, not for one Every chain I break tonight Opens one more road to light [Verse II] Malrec accelerates the execution and orders the final extraction engine activated before either army can question him. What seemed like chance reveals a door; what seemed like duty reveals a chain. Every remembered face becomes a witness standing wordlessly behind the choice. The future is not promised, only placed within reach of hands prepared to change. [Bridge] A sleeping sentry kept his breathing A frightened guard received my hand We passed like mercy through the weapons And made compassion contraband Let the drums fall back and leave one naked heartbeat in the hall. Let the smallest act of mercy challenge every monumental lie. [Guitar Solo] Begin with the melodic color of eldrin moves beneath supply wagons and canvas shadows while roots quietly extinguish torches behind him; climb through the tension of rescue without slaughter becomes his final proof that refusing the war is not weakness; let two guitar voices disagree, listen, and finally discover a shared phrase. [Final Chorus] Through a thousand fires I run Not for vengeance, not for one Every chain I break tonight Opens one more road to light We will not feed tomorrow with the ashes of today. Through a thousand fires I run Not for vengeance, not for one Every chain I break tonight Opens one more road to light [Coda] The siege engines cough and fail Prisoners vanish into the trees Eldrin reaches the execution ground As Malrec raises his sword [Echo] Eldrin moves beneath supply wagons and canvas shadows while roots quietly extinguish torches behind him. [Inner Voice] Rescue without slaughter becomes his final proof that refusing the war is not weakness. [Narrative Turn] Malrec accelerates the execution and orders the final extraction engine activated before either army can question him.
