[0:00 – 0:28 | OST Intro – Flickering Fire + Dissonant Strings]
(flame crackling wrong)
What is a king…
But a pawn?
What is a soul…
But fuel?
⸻
[0:29 – 1:05 | Verse 1 – Low / Measured / Aldia Voice]
You chase a throne you don’t comprehend
Link the fire? Or let it end?
You think the cycle bends
But it only pretends
Flame was never salvation
Just fear of extinction
Built a world on ignition
And called it tradition
My brother sought a crown of stone
I sought the truth alone
In the roots where it had grown
Before the First Flame shone
Life and death were once the same
Before disparity and name
Before desire and blame
Before fire came
(distorted whisper) Seek… seek…
⸻
[1:06 – 1:34 | Chorus 1 – Haunting / Philosophical]
Bearer of the curse
Is it better… or worse…
To break the cycle first?
If light and dark deceive
What do you believe?
Will you burn…
Or leave?
⸻
[1:35 – 1:58 | OST Break – Reality Warps / Fire Glitches]
(flame erupts unnaturally)
⸻
[1:59 – 2:35 | Verse 2 – Faster / Intense / Protagonist Response]
You speak in riddles and rot
But I fought through what you forgot
Kings who failed at the spot
Where fire was bought
You studied life in a cage
Tore apart every page
Searching outside the age
Consumed by your rage
You say flame’s a lie
You say dark will comply
But neither explain why
We hollow and die
If both roads decay
Then I carve my own way
Not your pawn in the fray
Not today
(stand firm!)
⸻
[2:36 – 3:05 | Chorus 2 – Bigger / Layered Choir]
Bearer of the curse
The answer isn’t rehearsed
Neither blessing nor curse
But choice
If fire is a chain (chain)
And dark is the same (same)
I won’t play
The game
⸻
[3:06 – 3:30 | Breakdown – Alt Metal / Scream Layer]
YOU CALL IT CYCLE — I CALL IT FEAR
YOU CALL IT TRUTH — BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR
IF BOTH PATHS LEAD BACK HERE
I WALK BEYOND THIS SPHERE
NO FLAME TO LINK
NO DARK TO CLAIM
I CHOOSE MY NAME
⸻
[3:31 – 3:55 | Final Chorus – Determined / Climactic]
Bearer of the curse
I won’t make it worse
I won’t be the nurse
To a dying flame
Let the old gods fade (fade)
Let new paths be made (made)
I won’t be afraid
Of the First Sin
⸻
[3:56 – 4:10 | Outro – Fire Dies Slowly]
(flame collapses inward)
Then make your choice…
