[Intro – Choir + Clean Guitar]
(Soft choir chanting in Latin-style syllables)
Lux… Aeterna… Sanctus ignis…
A distant bell tolls through the shattered stone,
Golden dust in the air like a throne long overthrown.
I rise from the silence, steel in my hand,
A vow in my heart no darkness can command.
[Verse I – Slow Build]
I walked through fire, through doubt and despair,
Through broken cathedrals and smoke-choking air.
The world may tremble, the heavens may fall,
But I stand unyielding in front of it all.
Every scar is a scripture, every bruise a prayer,
Every fallen ally still breathing in my care.
If night devours the innocent flame,
Then I will answer in honor’s name.
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Drums]
Hear the cry of the fading sun—
The battle has only begun.
[Chorus I – Explosive]
I swear by the light that crowns the sky!
I will not falter, I will not die!
With holy fire in my veins I stand,
Shield raised high for this broken land!
Through storm and shadow I will remain,
Guardian forged in sacred flame!
Cast down your darkness—hear my cry!
The light of heaven will never die!
[Verse II – Faster / Heavier Riffs]
Boots strike thunder on fractured stone,
No soul beneath my watch stands alone.
The clash of steel sings sharp and bright,
A hymn of fury in the dead of night.
Golden radiance floods the field,
No tyrant’s blade will make me yield.
When terror roars and hope grows thin,
That’s when the reckoning begins.
[Pre-Chorus – Half-Time Build]
Feel the heavens open wide—
Judgment blazing at my side.
[Chorus II – Bigger, Higher Key]
I swear by the stars that burn above!
By sacred oath and boundless love!
With radiant light crashing down like rain,
I’ll bear your fear, I’ll bear your pain!
If fate demands my final breath,
I’ll carve salvation out of death!
Let shadows break against my might—
I am the blade of holy light!
[Bridge – Choir + Breakdown]
(Heavy chugging guitars)
Kneel to no corruption.
Bow to no despair.
The weak shall know protection—
For I am always there.
(Choir swells)
Lux… descendit… ignis aeternum…
When the sky splits open wide,
And angels weep for those who died—
I’ll rise, I’ll roar, I’ll fight again,
Till dawn redeems the sons of men.
[Solo Section – Guitar Shred]
(Imagine blazing dual guitars, harmonic sweeps, tremolo picking, orchestral strings rising behind it)
[Final Chorus – Full Orchestra + Double Kick Drums]
I swear by the light that crowns the sky!
No innocent soul beneath my eye
Shall fall while breath remains in me—
I am their shield, their sanctuary!
With holy brilliance raining down,
No tyrant king shall wear the crown!
Through endless war, through darkest night—
I charge ahead in burning white!
HEAR THE HEAVENS TESTIFY—
THE PALADIN WILL NEVER DIE!
[Outro – Soft Choir / Echoing Guitar]
Steel grows quiet.
Dust settles slow.
But honor remains where warriors go.
A single beam from the shattered sky—
And still… I stand.
Lux… Aeterna…
