A reason to betray ( The Dark Mage song)
[Verse 1][low, solemn] I was born from whispered sin, The night’s own blood beneath my skin. Bound by duty, my soul enchained, My path was written, my fate ordained. The elders spoke, their will was law, A priestess pure, her death, my draw. But when I found her, still and pale, The blade grew weak, my courage frail. [Chorus ][ powerful, haunted] The night I saw the light, I broke my vow, The darkness cracked, I see it now. One look, and centuries unmade, The curse I serve began to fade. I was forged for death, I was born to sin, But she breathed my name, and let me in. The night I saw the light, I lost my way, And found a reason to betray. [Verse 2 ][ deeper, conflicted] They call it weakness, what I feel, A broken chain, a shattered seal. I should have struck, fulfilled my right, To drown her flame, to serve the night. But how can death obey the creed, When love itself commands my deed? One breath, one touch, and all I knew, Turned against the dark I once was true. [Chorus ][ stronger, defiant] The night I saw the light, I broke my vow, The darkness cracked, I see it now. One look, and centuries unmade, The curse I serve began to fade. I was forged for death, I was born to sin, But she breathed my name, and let me in. The night I saw the light, I lost my way, And found a reason to betray. [Bridge ][ quiet, grief-filled] Her eyes were mercy, her hands were grace, And I, the shadow, left my place. I should have struck, yet dropped the blade, And in that moment, the world was stayed. My clan will hunt me, my vow betrayed, Their rites fall silent, their power decayed. All for a promise I could not forsake, All for the life I would not take. She was the dawn I was never shown, And now her fate is bound to my own. [Final Chorus][ rising, tragic, desperate] The night I saw the light, the stars went blind, The gods fell silent, the fates unlined. If I must burn for what I’ve done, Then let me burn beneath her sun. I was born to kill, yet I chose to feel, A heart of sin that love made real. The night I saw the light, I sealed our fate... I chose to love her, instead of hate. [Outro ][ soft, fading into silence]
