HELLO EVERYONE — THIS IS MY NOT-BRAWL SONG IN RESPONSE TO MFREAPER. THIS IS A COMPLETELY FRIENDLY, IN-UNIVERSE NOT-BATTLE. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSONALLY. [Intro ] You say justice needs a blade. I say it needs a hand that doesn’t shake. You say fear is what they understand I’ve heard the quiet when they finally do. [Verse] You were forged where mercy failed Where prayers burned up in the air I won’t pretend I don’t see the wreckage Or count the names you carry there I know the weight you drag behind you I know why you don’t look away But I’ve stood in rooms where anger finished And kindness was what made them stay [Pre-Chorus] You call it karma, call it fate Call it balance paid in blood But I’ve seen hearts change direction When someone says, “You’re not done.” [Chorus] I won’t pick a god and pray I’ll kneel beside them anyway When no one answers, when hope frays I’ll be the voice that gently stays You swing the blade, you close the door I’ll show them there was something more If mercy’s weakness in your eyes Then let me be the proof you’re wrong [Verse] You say heroes rot from ego That masks crack and halos fall I don’t disagree, I’ve watched them fail I’ve watched them choose themselves But when the rubble’s still warm And the cameras finally leave It’s not gods or myths they ask for It’s someone who won’t leave them bleed [Pre-Chorus] They don’t need legends in the smoke They don’t need thunder, don’t need fear They need one last honest moment Someone to say, “I’m here.” [Chorus] I won’t pick a god and pray I’ll walk them through the fear and pain I’ll give them time you’d take away One last truth before the fade You count the sins, you seal the fate I count the tears they couldn’t say If mercy damns me in your sight Then I’ll wear that name with pride [Bridge] You think I’m naïve Because I still believe That monsters were once scared things That villains learned the wrong kind of strength I don’t excuse what they’ve done I don’t erase the blood But ending them isn’t the same As understanding what they were running from [Verse] You taught me how the world breaks You showed me where it rots But you never stayed to listen To the ones who wished they’d stopped I don’t need to be your opposite I don’t need to be your foe Just let me prove another ending Before you say they have to go [Chorus] I won’t pick a god and pray I’ll choose compassion every day When judgment’s easy, mercy’s hard That’s why it matters who we are You end the story, close the book I leave the light on, take one look If cruelty’s the price of order I’ll be the flaw you can’t ignore [Outro] You reap what’s ready. I guide what’s lost. Let history decide Which one of us cost more.
