(Verse 1 – low and steady) The wind sings the names Of the ones we’ve lost. I know every syllable, I’ve paid every cost. They’ll call me the end, The shadow, the flame… But I never once Spoke your name in vain. (Verse 2 – slow and mournful) I saw what you were And I still bowed my head. Not in defeat, But for what might’ve been said. A world where the stars Didn’t fear my skin… A world where the light Could let the dark in. (Chorus – hushed, heartbreakingly sincere) The end was never ours to hold. We were sparks in a story Already told. But if I must fall, Let it be by your hand— The one that once trembled When she dared to understand. (Verse 3 – gentle, like a final breath) I won’t wear armor When I come this time. I won’t roar your name— I won’t cross that line. This war’s already lost, Even if I win… Because I can’t stand To face you again With blood on my skin. (Bridge – voice trembling, but firm) I won’t ask for mercy. I won’t plead to be spared. But if you still carry The weight that we shared… Then stop me, Lyra. If there’s anything left— Not for the world. But for what we never kept. (Final Chorus – aching, slow crescendo) The end was never ours to keep. Just borrowed fire In a dream too deep. But I’ll leave the gates open, I won’t raise my sword— If I fall today, Let it be by her word. (Outro – barely above a whisper) This is how I say goodbye… By giving you The choice to decide.
