[Intro – Soft piano under distant battle]
Don’t make me do this…
Seris…
[Verse 1 – Controlled grief]
Ash in the air where you used to stand,
Silver laugh still in my head,
We were ten under one command —
Now I’m reaching for what’s dead.
Your twin blades shake in your hands,
Not from fear — I understand,
There’s something else inside your stance,
Something I can’t command.
You look at me like you’re still there,
Like you’re fighting somewhere in there,
Black flame wrapped in silver glare —
And I see you drowning.
Lucien whispers, “End it now.”
Darius shouts, “Don’t you bow.”
But I can’t swing — I don’t know how
To cut you down.
[Chorus 1 – Emotional but heavy]
Brother against blade tonight,
Silver flame lost to the night,
If I strike, I lose the light
That kept me whole.
We swore we’d fall together,
Not like this — not ever,
If saving you means sever —
Then I lose my soul.
[Verse 2 – Fight begins]
You moved first — I saw the tear,
Black fire bending every spear,
Your voice cracked when you drew near —
Like you were still fighting fear.
Steel collided, sparks like stars,
Every hit reopening scars,
I know your rhythm, know your heart —
But this isn’t you.
You slash wide — I block and bleed,
You whisper something I can’t read,
For a second I see Seris breathe —
Then the void takes hold.
You drive me back across the stone,
Black wings rising from your bones,
You scream my name in broken tone —
And beg me not to hesitate.
[Chorus 2 – Harder, crying rage]
Brother against blade and flame,
Calling out your name in vain,
If I don’t stop this pain —
It consumes us both.
Eight flames left but fading fast,
Every oath already cracked,
If I let you go like that —
Then none of us have hope.
[Bridge – Metal Rap Breakdown]
(Guitars slam in)
I don’t want this — I don’t want war,
I don’t want blood on the marble floor,
But the black sun’s knocking at the door —
And you’re the one it’s wearing.
You said we’d die side by side,
Now I’m the one you’re forced to fight,
If love means ending your life —
Then let the blade decide.
(SCREAM)
FORGIVE ME.
[Chorus 3 – Devastating release]
Brother against blade — I strike,
Silver shatters into night,
Black sun screaming at the light —
As you fall in my arms.
You smile once — like before,
Whisper, “Don’t let it win the war,”
Then you’re gone…
And I’m not whole anymore.
[Outro – Quiet devastation]
Eight flames…
Now seven…
And the black sun
Burns brighter.
