[Verse 1] She keeps the station lights alive, beside the quiet, rusted sign. No one stops, but all pass through— the living, and the shadows too. She wipes the dust from metal hands, as if the night were something planned. [Pre-Chorus] And something in the dark remembers who she is. [Chorus] Mara stands— steady as the wheel that turns. Mara stands— where every fear still burns. She holds the line the night forgets— Mara stands, and nothing breaks. [Verse 2] Some evenings figures gather near, the ones who fade, the ones unclear. She speaks to each in gentle tone, as if their names were still her own. The winds grow still around her breath, the world steps back from love and death. [Pre-Chorus] And something in their eyes knows she won’t ever fall. [Chorus] Mara stands— steady as the wheel that turns. Mara stands— where every fear still burns. She holds the line the night forgets— Mara stands, and nothing breaks. [Bridge] When grief climbs up the gravel path, she meets its weight without a wrath. When monsters crawl from forest’s edge, she keeps her promise, keeps her pledge. She whispers low, “Not here tonight,” and even darkness turns to light. [Final Chorus] Mara stands— steady as the wheel that turns. Mara stands— where every fear returns. She holds the line the world betrays— Mara stands, and never sways. [Outro – whispered] And in her quiet, all things stay.
