Beneath the Lion's Flame

[Intro – instrumental] soft piano echoes, deep ambient drones, distant choir, slow cello notes, empty and lonely atmosphere [Verse 1] In silent flames where lost souls roam A guardian sleeps beside the throne A lion forged in fire and night A watcher bound to endless sight He opened one eye through the haze A child stood there in curious gaze Her wings were light, her smile bright A spark of warmth in endless night [Instrumental] soft harp, light choir, gentle strings [Verse 2] “Who are you?” the child had said While drifting souls moved overhead “I guard this gate, now go away Return to heaven, do not stay” Yet every day she came once more Sat beside the hellbound shore As if the flames and ash and stone Had always been her second home [Bridge – soft choir] She laughed beneath the lion’s roar Fear had never touched her before She curled beneath his burning paw Like shelter from a storm she saw A gentle hand upon his nose A whispered warmth the lion knows “I love you.” [Instrumental – warm theme] piano melody, soft choir, strings swelling slowly [Verse 3] And so the days became the same The child, the lion, the endless flame He growled and warned and played his part Yet warmth was growing in his heart A silent bond, a strange embrace A tiny light in endless space [Break – instrumental] music fades, wind ambience, slow cello [Verse 4 – darker] But one day came without her light No laughter broke the endless night He waited long beside the fire Through endless dusk and fading pyre The mirror lake returned to sight To glimpse the halls of heaven’s light But clouds and echoes filled the view The sky was sealed, the truth withdrew [Chorus – powerful choir] Forgotten flame, abandoned guard A silent throne, a heart now scarred If heaven turns its gaze away What is a watcher meant to stay? [Instrumental – dramatic] heavy strings, deep drums, rising choir [Final Verse] A growl beneath the hollow sky A question no one will reply The claws of fire scar the stone A guardian left… completely alone [Outro – instrumental] solo piano, fading choir, distant wind
