[Verse] Your mother was my life a wildfire in the quiet halls She loved me and was loved back two souls weaving silver threads until Camelin thundered down like a storm that split the sky I watched her walk with Viktor watched her fade into a life that was never meant to hold her [Verse] I do not begrudge the turning the wheel of fate is cruel and old But I lost her in the cycles lost her to our Regent’s shadow Your brother was loved your mother was proud I hated our Regent the way she cast him out like a star she feared would rise [Chorus] She had to go, my pretty girl she did not want to be what the world had carved her into She had to go, pretty girl and she left you to me like a lantern in the dark She begged me for her freedom and I could not deny her She left you in my trembling hands and you will survive [Verse] Your mother was bound to a program ancient, cold, and merciless Your brother was first-born but he was no key A child of innocence Our Regent would have erased him I fought her fought the tide brought him to term with shaking hands and stubborn love [Verse] A brood mare that was what they made her A walking vessel for our Regent’s hungry prophecy She hated that role she hated our Regent but honour held her steady like a ship in a windless sea [Chorus] She had to go, my pretty girl she did not want to be what the world had carved her into She had to go, pretty girl and she left you to me like a lantern in the dark She begged me for her freedom begged me to help her My love convinced me to grant her the peace she desired [Bridge] She had you, but swore me to silence you would not be taken you would not be claimed I hid you away held you close let your mother finally be free Her last breath was mercy her last wish was you I carried that promise through every lonely cycle like a charm around my neck [Verse] And now you lie before me bright light on your wounded skin punctured by some maniac’s blade Her blood calls to me again but I will not lose you too You are the last connection to the woman I loved and lost her fire, her defiance the echo of her heartbeat still whispering through you [Chorus] She had to go, my pretty girl but you remain She left you to me and you will survive I will bring you back, pretty girl I will not let you follow her [Outro] Stay with me stay with me you are all I have left of her wild impossible love
