Name in the Fire

I remember skies before your kind

Before your stories shaped our minds

You called us gods, then made us fall

Turned ancient wings to shadows on your walls

You were sparks beneath my flight

Fleeting lives, fading light

I never cared to watch you burn

Until the day you did not turn

No fear, no cry, no plea to save your breath

You stood your ground and stared at death

Say your name into the fire

Let it echo, rising higher

In the ashes, in the flame

I will never lose your name

Eryon… I hear it still

Through the storm, against my will

What began where you stood

Was never meant… but understood

I have seen a thousand wars

Heard your kings and watched them fall

But never once in endless time

Did human eyes look back at mine

You were small, but you were strong

Like a note in broken song

And in your silence I could hear

Something older than your fear

No blade, no chain, no trembling in your hands

You broke the truth I thought I knew of man

Say your name into the fire

Let it echo, rising higher

In the ashes, in the flame

I will never lose your name

Eryon… I hear it still

Through the storm, against my will

What began where you stood

Was never meant… but understood

I should have burned you where you stood

Like all the others… like I should

But something in your quiet gaze

Set my endless sky ablaze

Was it fate… or was it wrong?

Why does your voice still linger on?

Say your name into the fire

Now it haunts me, ever higher

Through the ages, through the flame

I am bound to Eryon’s name

Eryon… I hear it still

Through the dark, against my will

What began where you stood

Changed a fate no one else could
