[Intro – hushed, reverent] Ink sleeps in vellum Stone remembers names Some power waits Until it’s claimed [Verse 1] Julian learned to slow his breath Before he ever chose to strike Every card a measured step Every duel a test of right They saw a dragon carved in might He saw a truth that had survived Salt and years around your frame A guardian that chose its time [Pre-Chorus – quiet resolve] He steadies his hands He counts the cost He never calls you Till lines are crossed [Chorus – controlled, emotional] Rise, Blue-Eyes Not to rule, not to burn You move when the ending’s earned No roar, no crown, no throne Just the truth Julian carries alone (low whisper layer beneath) Ju–li–an… Ju–li–an… If the field still stands, you wait If it breaks, you seal the fate You are not his power to wield You are his promise—fulfilled [Verse 2] Julian keeps you wrapped in calm Lets the moment choose the day Some bonds aren’t proved by summoning But by knowing when to stay He doesn’t test what time has shown Doesn’t force what must arrive You answer patience, not demand That’s how he keeps the past alive [Pre-Chorus – lifting slightly] He prepares the ground So when you rise Nothing shakes Nothing lies [Chorus – fuller, restrained strength] Rise, Blue-Eyes When the record’s sealed When nothing false remains concealed No domination, no command Just inevitability at hand (whisper layer returns, slightly fuller) Ju–li–an… Ju–li–an… You don’t answer every call You don’t need to prove it all You are the final line he draws When meaning stands above the law [Bridge – near-spoken, intimate] They ask Julian if you listen If you speak his name But some connections Don’t sound the same You don’t whisper You don’t command You wait Because you understand [Final Chorus – soaring but contained] Rise, Blue-Eyes Not in wrath— In certainty When the world forgets what power costs You remember it with me (whispers, fading in and out) Ju–li–an… Ju–li–an… If history trembles, let it be Julian won’t let it break you free You are not his fate to chase You are the end that keeps its place [Outro – fading, archival] Ink rests Stone holds Julian stands The guardian knows When the last truth needs a voice You’ll rise Because he chose
