Verses I (male lead, calm and deep) I walk the line where angels fear to tread, With steel and flame, where mercy once had bled. The voice of Heaven carved me from the light, To cast the fallen back into the night. Pre-Chorus (Chorus, Latin whispers in the background) "Veritas, judicium, lux aeterna..." "Veritas..." (Lead, cutting cold) No plea, no cry will shake my hand, The law is written - I shall stand. Chorus (strong vocals, orchestral structure) I am the fire, the shield, the storm, The sword of God where faith is born. Judge of the silence, wrath in disguise, With wings of judgment I pierce through the lies. Cold is my vow, unshackled, divine, Justice and flame in this soul of mine. You may curse me, defy, or run— But I am Sariel - I am the Sun. Verses II (dark tone, thoughtful) No joy, no fear, no love to guide my flight, I guard the pure, yet disappear in their light. My chains are oath, my gaze the final breath, I carry Heaven's will - and walk with death. bridge (Chorus and lead superimposed, dramatic) "Fallen tremble, demons flee, the sky shall break when you face me!" (quietly, Sariel's voice almost whispering) One friend, one voice that reached my soul... But even stars have to play their role. Final Chorus (reprise, more intense)* I am the fire, the shield, the storm, The blade of truth in celestial form. My hands may burn, my heart be numb— Still I am Sariel - I am the Sun. Fall, ye sinners, your trial’s begun, No second chance, no place to run. When skies are torn and trumpets hum, Know that your end... has just begun. Outro (Instrumental, dramatic strings and an echo of the choir) "Lux...Lux...Lux Aeterna..."
