Chapter 2 : The Thirteen Betrayers

[Intro] [Verse 1] Thirteen blades raised in the night, Sworn to justice, sworn to light. But one by one, their vows decayed— The price of glory, coldly paid. [Pre-Chorus] They spoke of peace with silver tongues, But silence fell when war was sung. They cast me down, erased my name— Now I return to stake my claim. [Chorus] I name the traitors, one by one, Their lies won't fade beneath the sun. The blades that fell now rise anew— My wrath is forged in blood and truth. No mercy left, no sacred creed— I carve their sins, I watch them bleed. For every soul they left to die, The thirteen fall beneath my cry. [Verse 2] Brothers once who stood beside, Now cowards clothed in robes of pride. They struck me down and praised my grave, But cursed are those who called me slave. [Pre-Chorus] The banners burn, the lies revealed, No oath remains that time concealed. The stars bear witness to this flame— I rise, I strike, I take their names. [Chorus] I name the traitors, one by one, Their lies won't fade beneath the sun. The blades that fell now rise anew— My wrath is forged in blood and truth. No mercy left, no sacred creed— I carve their sins, I watch them bleed. For every soul they left to die, The thirteen fall beneath my cry. [Bridge] They wear their crowns of stolen flame, But none escape the curse, the shame. Their golden thrones will turn to rust, Their final breath choked in their trust. [Final Chorus] I name the traitors, one by one, Their lies won't fade beneath the sun. The blades that fell now rise anew— My wrath is forged in blood and truth. No mercy left, no sacred creed— I carve their sins, I watch them bleed. By shadow’s edge, beneath red sky, The thirteen fall… and still I rise.
