[Intro – Soft Echoing Piano + Infinite Reverb]
A black ocean.
Endless mirrors.
No enemies.
Just two reflections… standing face to face.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Crusader]
Every war, every flame
Every voice that knew my name
Every demon, every throne
Always acted like you were known
Not feared exactly…
Something else
Like they remembered what you held
So tell me now—
What are you?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Silence Before Truth]
(ShadowSing doesn’t answer immediately)
The mirrors begin to crack.
⸻
[Chorus I – Slow, Haunting]
Mirror dialogue — truth unfolds
Not all stories can be told
Some are buried under flame
Some become forgotten names
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Verse 2 – ShadowSing Speaks]
(ShadowSing, calm)
Before Heaven had walls…
Before Hell had kings…
There was balance.
Not peace.
Balance.
I was made from it.
Not angel.
Not demon.
I was created to watch both worlds…
…and hold them together.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus II – Realization Begins]
(Crusader, low)
You were part of the Creator…
(ShadowSing)
Not his son.
Not his servant.
His design.
⸻
[Chorus II – Emotional Weight]
Mirror dialogue — worlds divide
Truth no longer left to hide
Every war now makes more sense
Every fracture left immense
You were never born from hate
You were made to regulate
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Verse 3 – The Betrayal]
(ShadowSing)
The Archdemons saw what I was.
The Corrupted Celestials feared me.
Because as long as I existed—
Neither side could fully win.
I kept reality stable.
I kept existence from collapsing into endless war.
So they removed me from divinity.
(Crusader)
They cast you out…
(ShadowSing)
No.
They shattered me.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus III – Becoming the Monster]
(ShadowSing)
Without balance…
the worlds rotted.
Without a vessel…
I would’ve died.
So I adapted.
I became something feared.
Something monstrous enough…
to survive the chaos they created.
⸻
[BREAKDOWN – Emotional Explosion]
(Crusader, furious)
THEY TURNED YOU INTO THIS.
(ShadowSing, calm)
No.
They revealed what survival requires.
⸻
[Bridge – Why He Chose the Crusader]
(quiet… almost painful)
(Crusader)
So why me?
Why choose me?
(ShadowSing)
Because when the world burned…
When Heaven lied…
When Hell corrupted…
You were the last human
who remained pure.
Not innocent.
Pure.
You suffered… and still chose compassion.
You hated… and still refused cruelty.
Hell could not corrupt you—
because you never surrendered yourself.
That is why I stayed.
That is why I protected you.
And that is why…
we survived.
⸻
[Final Chorus III – Full Understanding]
Mirror dialogue — now complete
Two broken halves no longer weak
Not possession, not disguise
Not a monster in my eyes
You were never just the flame
You were balance wrapped in pain
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Outro – Final Reveal]
(ShadowSing, soft)
There’s something else…
The remaining Archdemons know what I truly am.
And if they destroy me completely—
Reality will finally collapse.
ShadowSing
