[Intro – piano] [Verse 1] Cold forge lit their hollow birth, Watchers’ steel, Angel’s mirth. Luc’In forged them, gene and chain, Blades to dance for masters’ gain. Ten stood tall in Luc’In’s light, Ker’An first to bear the fight. Yet they whispered, fierce and low: "No child’s blood shall grace our blows." [Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Watchers sneered at mercy’s creed, "Burn their young or burn with me." [Verse 2 – The Breaking Point] War like tides wore down their souls, Crèche-born fed to battle’s maw. Till at last, o’er Angel’s shoals, Came the call: "Kill young and all." Ca’En turned, his guns raised high, "Makers’ orders—we comply!" Ker’An’s fleet tore through the line— "Aim at young, and you will die." [Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Watchers roared in wrathful scorn, "Then your crèches shall be torn!" [Verse 3 ] Children’s ashes filled their hands, As the spires were all damned. E’Ve crawled through ruined spans, Empty arms and bleeding hands. No’Ah turned his ships alone, To the world they'd once been sown. Angels mercy, thin as bone Carved a path to Earth’s blind stone. [Chorus – The Flight] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." No’Ah fled the field that day, Carried hope, not pride or shame. [Verse 4 – slower, full of emotion] Lil’Eth’s wrath lit stars with fire, Ker’An’s shield held back the pyre. Blades held fast while time was won, Steel and blood beneath the sun. G awoke, its heart like stone, Called the lost to final home. "Sleep," Ker’An vowed, "til it's done— Til the stars beg us to come." [Instrumental Solo] [Instrument: Piano] [Instrument: Cello] [Bridge] Do they dream of wars they fled? Or the oath they left unsaid? Time may rust the tyrants’ throne— Yet the vow now drags them home. [Final Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Let the stars forget our name— Unity still guards the flame. [Outro – half-sung, half-spoken over drones] "Gene… and chain… Broken… name… Slumber… deep… Rise… reclaim… Our unity.. Remains"
