VI - Thorns of Sorrow

[Verse 1] A whisper in steel no longer heard, A flame in the dark, a memory blurred. The names have faded, the fire grown cold, Yet her heart recalls each hand she once held. [Verse 2] Tears of thorns flow through the night, She carries her dead — her silent light. Each step a shadow, the burden severe, Where once her heart burned, now only fear. [Chorus – mournful, slow and grand] Tears of thorns, heavy as blades, Born from longing, lost in the haze. The sword remembers, though hearts decay — She fights for the shadows, for the light that strayed. [Verse 3] In mirrored flame she sees her past, Her fire her shield, her vengeance vast. But deep in the glow, a spark remains — A fading warmth through endless pain. [Chorus – repeated, emotional climax] Tears of thorns, heavy as blades, Born from longing, lost in the haze. The sword remembers, though hearts decay — She fights for the shadows, for the light that strayed. [Outro – soft, orchestral fade] And when the storm shall rise once more, She bears her silence none implore. Tears of thorns — in steel confined, The price for all she left behind.
