Honey and Steel

[Verse 1]
I wore the silver of the Sentinels, watched under Elune,
Ashenvale paths in my boots, bark scars on my moon-glaive.
I stood the wall when the owls went quiet and the flames took the sky,
Kept my sisters breathing, kept my bowstring dry.
But war is a river that never sleeps, and I won’t drown there—
So I carried my name to the wild again, humming a different prayer.
[Pre-Chorus]
Where I go, I leave room for a garden,
Where I fight, I leave room for a song.
Let the world try to make me only the blade—
I’ll prove it wrong.
[Chorus]
I keep a hive beside my shield, honey in one hand, steel in the other,
Buzz of the brood like a battle drum under my leather.
If you come as friend, I’ll fill your cup until your sorrow runs dry,
If you come with fire, you’ll learn how a thousand stings fly.
I am Jadrielle Moonsinger— I don’t choose between
Honey and steel. I am both. I keep the hive.
[Verse 2]
I walked the ruins where the moonwells cooled and the pines learned grief,
Set little wooden homes for the tiny queens, taught the clovers belief.
I trade jars in Boralus, laugh in the roar of the market’s tide,
Then I’m back on the road when the drums get loud and the shadows ride.
My bees know the scent of my leather, the beat of my run,
They light on my helm like stars— bless me, then I’m gone.
[Pre-Chorus]
Where I camp, I whisper their names,
Where I fight, I answer my own.
Let the world call me only a warrior—
Watch me make honey from stone.
[Chorus]
I keep a hive beside my shield, honey in one hand, steel in the other,
Buzz of the brood like a battle drum under my leather.
If you come as friend, I’ll fill your cup until your sorrow runs dry,
If you come with fire, you’ll learn how a thousand stings fly.
I am Jadrielle Moonsinger— I don’t choose between
Honey and steel. I am both. I keep the hive.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I’ve seen naga rise like bad memories on a black-salt shore,
Seen pirates grin and think gold is worth dying for.
I’ve set my glaive in their path, felt the hum in the air change key,
Heard that old Sentinel drumline match the buzz of the bee.
And when it’s done, I smear wax on the bow and the cracks in my heart,
Pass cups down the line to the tired, ‘cause that’s also my part.
[Chorus]
I keep a hive beside my shield, honey in one hand, steel in the other,
Buzz of the brood like a battle drum under my leather.
If you come as friend, I’ll fill your cup until your sorrow runs dry,
If you come with fire, you’ll learn how a thousand stings fly.
I am Jadrielle Moonsinger— I don’t choose between
Honey and steel. I am both. I keep the hive.
[Outro]
[Bridge]
Sister, if you’re listening from a watchtower far from home,
Know I kept the moon on my shoulder wherever I roam.
Brother, if your blade is heavy, take this jar in your hands—
The forest taught me courage; the hive taught me to stand.
[Breakdown / Stomp & Clap]
Moon-glaive high, hive alive—
Kaldorei blood keeps fire from the hive.
Stomp—two—clap—two—sing it wide:
Moonsinger’s oath: we keep the hive.
[Final Chorus]
I keep a hive beside my shield, honey in one hand, steel in the other,
Buzz of the brood like a battle drum under my leather.
If you come as friend, I’ll fill your cup until your sorrow runs dry,
If you come with fire, you’ll learn how a thousand stings fly.
I am Jadrielle Moonsinger— I don’t choose between
Honey and steel. I am both. I keep the hive.
