Shattered Grace

Intro] (Faint echoes of a choir, slow harp plucking, the sound of crackling golden light fading into silence.)

(I was the mother, I was the light… but even gods must break…)

⸻

Born in gold, a cage divine

A will unbending, a fate entwined

Built a kingdom, shaped the land

But power crumbles like shifting sand

They called me holy, they called me grace

But I saw the fractures on my own face

Held the world within my hands

Yet I could never understand…

⸻

[Pre-Chorus] (Swelling violins, distant choral harmonies.)

Take the throne, bear the chains

All gods fall, all stars fade

I tried to break the hands of fate

But even gods shatter someday…

⸻

[Chorus] (Dramatic orchestral burst, deep drums, soaring vocals.)

Break me down, turn me to stone

I gave them light, but I’m left alone

The runes are scattered, my throne is dust

But was it power, or was it trust?

I split my soul, I lost my name

Yet still, they whisper in the rain

Queen of nothing, mother of war

Was I their goddess or something more?

⸻

Once, I walked where Erdtrees grow

Held the hands of those below

But the cracks ran deep beneath my feet

And the gods above, they watched me bleed

My children fight for a war I made

A shattered world, a hollow faith

I burned the grace that made me whole

And now I see—I lost control

⸻

[Bridge] (Soft piano, faint whispers, the sound of wind rushing through ruins.)

(If I could change, if I could mend… would they still call me god or friend?)

(If I let go, if I fade away… would the stars still know my name?)

(Music swells—strings and choral harmonies build like a wave—then silence.)

⸻

[Final Chorus] (Raw, powerful, layered vocals—like a lament echoing through eternity.)

Break me down, turn me to stone

I gave them light, but I’m left alone

The runes are scattered, my throne is dust

But was it power, or was it trust?

I split my soul, I lost my name

Yet still, they whisper in the rain

Queen of nothing, mother of war

Was I their goddess or something more?

(Last note fades into the sound of distant bells tolling, then silence.)
