The road beneath forgotten stone, I walked its halls… Alone… One final chance… One final breath… To steal a soul… From living death… I heard her footsteps… Soft as rain… One stolen hope… One endless pain… The silence begged… “Do not turn…” Yet every heartbeat… Forced me to yearn… I looked behind… She slipped away… One fleeting glance… Eternity… The gates were closed… The light was gone… I left the dead… Alone… The rivers whisper… Still her name… Every dawn… The same refrain… Ash upon… A broken crown… The living walk… I only drown… No gods answered… No mercy came… Only echoes… Only shame… Every shadow… Wears her face… Every prayer… Leaves no trace… I looked behind… She slipped away… One fleeting glance… Eternity… The gates were closed… The light was gone… I left my heart… Beyond… No throne… No crown… No victory… Only silence… Following me… No dawn… No sleep… No release… Only memories… Beneath the leaves… I looked behind… She disappeared… The path remains… Year after year… Stone remembers… What I have done… I left with life… But lost… The one…
