Break the Cage at Dusk

///*****/// [Moonlit Intro] In the execution square between the human camp and the gathering elven host. a living arrow splits Malrec's sword, Lyra kicks the loosened hinge free, and dusk erupts in green sparks. The old war enters on a drumbeat, but another rhythm waits beneath it. [First Chronicle] Eldrin and Lyra reunite in combat, disarm the executioners, and reveal the guardian seal to shocked soldiers. Steel gives every frightened answer the same hard voice, yet the ground receives the blood without asking which language named it. We carry the weight of orders and the quieter weight of doubt. Somewhere beyond the visible battle, a patient hand adjusts the board. [Rising Oath] Their embrace lasts only one heartbeat, yet returns every promise the cage tried to destroy. If conscience is a wound, let it remain open until truth enters. [Refrain] Break the cage, outrun the bell Love returned from where it fell Stand beside me, hand in hand We still have time to save the land Break the cage, outrun the bell Love returned from where it fell Stand beside me, hand in hand We still have time to save the land [Second Chronicle] Vaelor arrives with Sylvanya's generals and accuses Eldrin of corruption just as the ground begins to split. 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. [Middle Eight] No dream, no ghost, no final vision Your living breath against my face Then steel returned, and so did purpose Two hearts resumed the same brave race Let the drums fall back and leave one naked heartbeat in the hall. Let the smallest act of mercy challenge every monumental lie. [Lead-Guitar Passage] Begin with the melodic color of a living arrow splits malrec's sword; climb through the tension of their embrace lasts only one heartbeat, yet returns every promise the cage tried to destroy; let two guitar voices disagree, listen, and finally discover a shared phrase. [Refrain — Higher] Break the cage, outrun the bell Love returned from where it fell Stand beside me, hand in hand We still have time to save the land We will not feed tomorrow with the ashes of today. Break the cage, outrun the bell Love returned from where it fell Stand beside me, hand in hand We still have time to save the land [Last Light] Lyra holds the charcoal map aloft Eldrin raises the memory seal The two armies aim across the chasm And the Heartwell tears the earth open [Echo] a living arrow splits Malrec's sword, Lyra kicks the loosened hinge free, and dusk erupts in green sparks. [Inner Voice] Their embrace lasts only one heartbeat, yet returns every promise the cage tried to destroy. [Narrative Turn] Vaelor arrives with Sylvanya's generals and accuses Eldrin of corruption just as the ground begins to split.
