Let them burn

A song for Asmira’s transformation into Aliena to protect Astarion and their children

Epic cinematic ballad with orchestral power, divine wrath, and haunting tenderness

⸻

You touched my face like I was still whole

But I’ve been breaking quietly

I smiled so you wouldn’t see

The storm inside of me

They came for blood, they came for flame

For the children that bear our name

You said, “Run,” but I won’t run

There’s only one way this ends now—

⸻

I begged the gods to make me kind

But they gave me thorns and fire inside

Tore my womb and chained my breath

And left me nothing but vengeance left

You think I’ll fall while they scream your name?

You think I’ll break and let them claim

The man I loved, the lives we made?

No. I’ll become the blade

⸻

Let them burn for you

Let the skies split in two

I will drown this world in bloom and blood

If it keeps you safe, I’ll spill enough

Call me cursed, call me divine

I am wrath wrapped in a mother’s spine

Let them choke on what they’ve done

Let them burn

Every last one

⸻

You called me sinner, called me slave

But you carved me in when you dug her grave

I am not a monster, I am her scream

The holy weapon in her dream

She gave me love, so now I rise

In vines and bloom, in crimson skies

Touch what’s hers, and you’ll decay

I’ll make them all fade away

⸻

Let them burn for her

For every tear you never heard

You’ll see my thorns inside your chest

I am the fury of the blessed

I am the storm beneath her skin

I am the rage she kept within

She broke, so I could be the end

Let them burn

Don’t pretend

⸻

You are my heart, you are my blade

You are the fear they can’t escape

Protect him, hold them, don’t let go

We are the flood, we are the glow

⸻

Let them burn for love

Let them beg the stars above

I won’t kneel, I won’t cry

I’ll make gods bleed before they die

This is not a plea, it’s a war

I am mother, I am more

So if they dare to take what’s mine…

Let them burn

Let them burn

Let them burn—

This time.
