[Verse 1 ] Evening laid its gold on stone Like nothing wicked could come home The palace breathed in lamp-lit grace Then something vast unmade the place The wards began to scream and split The walls remembered every hit Glass burst like stars in dying air And terror found us everywhere I raised my hands, I called the light I tried to hold the breaking night If I could keep one soul from death Then love was worth my every breath [Pre-Chorus ] So I turned toward every cry Like mercy could outlive the fire [Chorus ] He was here Like another sun above the ruin Burning through the dark While the whole world came undone He was here And still the night kept taking from us Three hearts, one wound, one dying kingdom He was here And still we lost it all [Verse 2 ] They came in ash and furnace light And tore the sacred from the night The walls that held our days in gold Became a place of fear and smoke I raised my hands through dust and cries Wove silver mercy through the fire But every soul I drew to breath Still left me standing close to death I ran where every terror led Toward the living, toward the dead And every step the dark took more Than mercy ever asked me for [Pre-Chorus] Then heaven cracked and I knew your name Before the light, before the flame [Chorus ] He was here Like another sun above the ruin Burning through the dark While the whole world came undone He was here And still the night kept taking from us Three hearts, one wound, one dying kingdom He was here And still we lost it all [Verse 3 ] The violet split the night in two And all at once the light was you You struck through fire, smoke, and stone Like judgment called to claim its own You burned through ruin, hall by hall A star refusing still to fall But even then my heart could see This was no path to victory You fought like time was all that stayed Like every blow was bought delay Not for the throne, not to survive But just to keep our hope alive [Pre-Chorus ] Then all at once my heart could see You were not fighting to break free [Chorus ] He was here Like another sun above the ruin Burning through the dark While the whole world came undone He was here And still the night kept taking from us Three hearts, one wound, one dying kingdom He was here And still we lost it all [Bridge] I saw the sky burn violet And prayed that meant you still were breathing For one breath all the dark stepped back For one breath I believed we'd live through this Then came the blade A flash, a wound A single moment split in two Your blood, your light Your hand outstretched And then the world was gone I reached I screamed But distance took me I saw I saw And could not stay You were there I know you were there You were there And then we were torn away [Final Chorus] He was here Like the last star over Elliria Burning through the dark While the whole world came undone He was here And still the night kept taking from us Three hearts, one wound, one dying kingdom He was here And still we lost it all
