(Quiet, solemn intro with strings and a lone drumbeat)
(Verse 1)
I walk alone, where shadows creep,
The ghosts of my past refuse to sleep.
Betrayal’s mark, it burns my name,
Yet still I stand, unbroken, untamed.
(Chorus)
This blade is my vow, this scar my truth,
Through blood and fire, I seek my proof.
The weight I bear, the path I tread,
I’ll rise anew where the fearless bled.
(Verse 2)
Nephew, traitor—they call me still,
But I won’t bend to another’s will.
The whispers sting, but my heart is stone,
The fight is mine, and mine alone.
(Chorus)
This blade is my vow, this scar my truth,
Through blood and fire, I seek my proof.
The weight I bear, the path I tread,
I’ll rise anew where the fearless bled.
(Bridge)
(Soft, introspective tone with strings swelling)
I’ve seen the faces of trust betrayed,
Felt the sting of choices poorly made.
But I am steel, tempered by pain,
A sword of vengeance, with much to gain.
(Chorus)
This blade is my vow, this scar my truth,
Through blood and fire, I seek my proof.
The weight I bear, the path I tread,
I’ll rise anew where the fearless bled.
(Outro)
(Steady beat fades, voice raw and quiet)
I am shadow, I am flame,
A soldier of honor, reclaiming the name.
