[Intro — freezing wind / distant iron / heartbeat]
The wind never stops here.
It remembers everything.
Follow me.

[whisper]
Down.
Kneel for me.
Struggle for me.
Suffer for me.

I want to know
what the wall remembers.

[Verse 1]
Blood-red moon above the mountains
Dead sun drowning in the snow
Ancient cuts across the stonework
Names of gods we'll never know

You came behind me through the cold
Your chain held firmly in my hand
Barely dressed against the winter
Still you followed my command

At the wall
I touched the rust
Twenty places carved for trust
Or punishment
Or sacrifice—
No living mouth could tell me why

Cold iron
Waiting there
Like an old unanswered prayer

I pulled you closer
You looked into my eyes
And when I showed you where I wanted you—

You knelt.

No question why.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay.
Hold.
Breathe.
Look at me.

Sacrifice
Or ecstasy?

Faith?
Desire?
Pain?
Release?

What did they find here?

What will we?

[Chorus]
AT THE WALL

I watched you give yourself to me

Cold iron
Straining knees
Ragged breath
Devotion underneath

AT THE WALL

Where forgotten prayers still bleed
I thought that I was studying you—

But something else
Was studying me

Sacrifice
Or ecstasy?
Love or faith?

I couldn't tell

I thought I held the chain—

But your trust
Was holding me

At the wall.

[Verse 2 — pressure rising]
I stepped away
And watched you there

Like some lost answer
Made of flesh and prayer

Every breath became a question
Every heartbeat fed the flame
The old iron knew nothing

But I wanted it
To speak your name

I wanted one more moment
Just to see what waited there
Where pleasure turns to darkness
And surrender becomes prayer

Sacrifice or ecstasy?

I whispered to the stone—

Why should a Blooder be merciful
When mercy was never known?

And God—

I wanted the answer.

One more breath.
One more moment.
One more step into the night.

I wanted to discover
What would happen

If I didn't make it right.

I saw you tremble
Saw you close to break
Watched you fighting for your strength
With every breath you had to take

Still your eyes came back to mine
Still nothing there withdrew

The body begged for mercy—

But the woman

Still chose me.

How far?
How long?

When does desire
Become wrong?

Where is the edge?
Where is the line?

I watched your eyes.
You watched mine.

And all the dead gods waited

For one of us

To decide.

Your eyes shut hard against the strain
Your breath came broken with my name

Every second drew the line
Between your limits
And desire

And I hated how alive I felt
Watching you endure the fire

I thought I held the chain—

But your trust
Was holding me.

[Breakdown — wind / breath / almost nothing]
This would be perfect.

The perfect sacrifice.

The perfect answer.

The perfect proof.

Love...

Or faith?

Then you lifted your eyes to mine.

And suddenly—

I was afraid.

Not of you.

Not of the darkness.

I was afraid
Of what I might become

If I forgot

Who you were.

[Build — metallic release]
One release.

Then another.

The old iron opened.

The wall gave you back.

And you came—

Not away from me.

Into me.

[second female voice]
Thank you, Mistress.

[TOTAL SILENCE]

[Lead]
Those words.

Those fucking words.

I thought I brought you here
To understand sacrifice.

I thought the question was

How much could someone give?

But when you thanked me—

I understood.

The question was

How much love

Could I survive?

[Build — warmth enters]
Away from the wall.
Away from the iron.

Into my arms.

Into the fire.

I carried you through the shadows
And wrapped you in my coat

Held you trembling against me
Until the winter let you go

And all that darkness
Became this impossible feeling

Breaking open
Inside mine.

[second female voice]
I love you, Mistress.

[Lead]
And you became my own life.

I love you.

[Final Chorus — huge / warm / choir]
FROM THE WALL

I carried you into the flame
Held you through the silence
While you whispered my name

FROM THE WALL

Where the dead once begged their gods
You gave me something greater
Than anything they could have lost

Your trust.
Your choice.
Your beautiful will.

I thought this night
Would show me what you could endure

Instead you showed me

What my own heart

Was for.

I CAME HERE HOLDING THE CHAIN—

AND LEFT HERE

CHANGED.

I THOUGHT I HELD THE CHAIN—

BUT YOUR TRUST
WAS HOLDING ME.

At the wall.

[Outro — fire / distant wind]

[Second voice]
Was it all that you hoped?

[Lead]
No.

It was much more.

This gift you gave me
Changed me forever.

Rest now, love.

[Second voice]
Good night, my love.

[Lead]
Good night...

My passion.

[whisper]
The wall remembers.

So do I
