“For Kael”

(Verse 1)

Chains in the dark, cold walls closing in,

Breathing in iron, wearing yesterday’s sins.

I’ve lived in shadows, where they taught me to kneel,

But deep in my heartbeat there’s something real.

(Pre-Chorus)

Then I wandered too far, crossed a forbidden line,

Found a golden flame with a lion’s spine.

He stood like a sunrise in a world made of dust—

And for the first time I felt I could trust.

(Chorus)

I will fight, I will fall,

But I won’t let you lose it all.

For every scar they carve in me,

I’ll rise again so you stay free.

I’ll bleed, I’ll break,

Whatever it takes to keep you safe.

In the fire, through the pain,

I stand for you—

I stand for Kael.

(Verse 2)

They tried to claim me, call me a beast,

Tried to own my spirit, tried to chain my peace.

But even bruised and beaten, I refuse to bow,

I’m a tiger in the dust and I’m waking now.

(Pre-Chorus)

They tore us apart, but they can’t take the truth:

Strength is more than the muscle and tooth.

I heard you whisper through the suffering and strife,

“Together or not, you’re worth a life.”

(Chorus)

I will fight, I will fall,

But I won’t let you lose it all.

For every scar they carve in me,

I’ll rise again so you stay free.

I’ll bleed, I’ll break,

Whatever it takes to keep you safe.

In the fire, through the pain,

I stand for you—

I stand for Kael.

(Bridge)

No master, no chains

Will tell me who I am.

I’m more than a cage,

More than what they demand.

If the arena calls my name,

Then let the world hear me roar—

I’m not fighting to survive,

I’m fighting for something more.

(Final Chorus)

I will fight, I will fall,

But I won’t let you lose it all.

Let them come, let them see—

They will never conquer me.

I’ll bleed, I’ll break,

Whatever it takes to keep you safe.

In the fire, through the pain,

I rise again—

I rise for Kael.
