Nyssara Flame That Stands

Lyrics By Laetitia Rose -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro Greek – Folk, ritualistic, pulsating, female voice, drums like a heartbeat] Fotia sto aima, pisti sti gí. Den proskynó theous, monó aftí pou agapó. [Verse I] She learned to breathe through ash and bone Through nights where names were overthrown No crown, no prayer, no guiding hand Just truth carved deep into the sand They taught her fear, she answered flame They tried to break her, forged her name Not born to kneel, not made to flee She chose the fight — she chose to be [Pre-Chorus] She bleeds for more than roar and gold She stands where hearts refuse the cold Fire does not destroy. Fire remembers [Chorus – hymnic & angry] Nyssara! Flame that stands When the world is torn apart Nyssara! Burning hand Shield around a fragile heart She fights for love, not for the throne For chosen bonds, not gods unknown If fire takes her, let it be She burns — but never on her knees [Verse II] She laughs where others drown in fear Steps forward when the end is near No prophecy carved her way She walks tomorrow — not yesterday When blood calls blood and steel screams loud She hears one voice above the crowd Not kings, not gods, not victory Just stay alive — come back to me [Pre-Chorus II] She feels too much — and that’s her might Her heart is fire, her will is fight Fire in the blood, faith in the earth. I kneel to no gods, only to those I love [Chorus – hymnic & angry] Nyssara! Flame that stands When the storm devours the land Nyssara! Wild and true She survives — and pulls you through No holy war, no sacred lie Is worth the ones she’d watch die She burns — but fiercely free A living vow of loyalty [Bridge – Greek Folkquiet, intimate, just voice & bouzouki] "Den eímai mythos. Den eímai skia. Eímai i fóni pou den siópa." "I am no myth. I am no shadow. I am the voice that does not go silent." "An prépei na kaó, tha kaó gia aftí pou ménoun." "If I must burn, I burn for those who remain." [Breakdown – slow, difficult] Let the gods look away Let fate lose its claim She’ll stand between death and name And bleed without shame [Final Chorus – epic, triumphant] Nyssara! Flame that stands When all vows fall apart Nyssara! Burning hand Still guards what breaks her heart She chose her truth, she chose her own No heaven carved her path in stone She burns — and still is free A living oath of loyalty [Outro – Greek Folk whispered, breath, drum, voice] Fotia den skotánei. Fotia thymízei. [Last drumbeat – silence]
