I - Fire in the Halls

[Verse 1] Golden banners, once symbols of pride, Now blackened, they burn where honor died. The halls of the ancients consumed by flame, No oath unbroken, no truth remains. [Verse 2] Blades in the back, familiar eyes, Brothers turned judges, cloaked in lies. She did not fall by the enemy’s hand, But by her own blood — her fallen land. [Pre-Chorus] And as the gate of night closed tight, She spoke her vow in ash and blight: [Chorus – Hymnic, painful] Let fire be your guide, Till none of you remain. I’ll come through the shadow, Where even death feels shame. And my blade shall be colder still, Than every word you ever gave. [Verse 3] Through flames she stared, unbroken, still — The bond betrayed, her heart grown chill. She turned from the realm of deceiving men, To rise as the blade — the judge again. [Pre-Chorus] From gleaming gold, to burning red, From smoldering grief, her courage spread. [Chorus – Final] Let fire be your guide, Till none of you remain. I’ll come through the shadow, Where even death feels shame. And my blade shall be colder still, Than every word you ever gave. [Outro – Soft choirs fading] “The vow was spoken... the blood shall flow.”
