Verse 1 I tuned the wind before the towers, Heard tomorrow in the strings. Every note became a warning, Every warning grew to kings. One shepherd held a golden answer, One smile carried smoke instead. No one hears a whispered future When desire is louder than the dead. Pre-Chorus I could name each falling stone, Every mother left alone. Still I watched the daylight bloom— Knowing where it all would end. Chorus Don't ask who lit the skyline red. Don't ask who crowned the lovely lie. Some hands never loose the arrow, Some hands simply watch it fly. Every prophecy's a mirror, Every truth demands its price. I kept singing to the morning While a kingdom fed the fire. Verse 2 The walls remembered older bargains, Mortar mixed with broken vows. Every hymn became an echo, Every laurel bent somehow. He chose beauty over wisdom, Love that borrowed someone else's name. I heard the city start collapsing Long before it burst in flame. Bridge Could I have broken my own music? Could I have silenced every seer? Or does fate become a prison Even for the gods to fear? I still hear the horses breathing. I still hear the gates give way. Every chord I strike remembers What I never stopped that day. Final Chorus Don't call me innocent forever. Don't call me villain all the same. I was witness to the future, And I never changed its name. Now the sunrise sounds like mourning, Every raven knows my tune. The lyre still shines with golden glory... But every string remembers Troy.
