[0:00 – 0:32 | OST Intro – Low Flame + Distant Choir]
(fire flickering unnaturally)
Aldia:
Young hollow…
Have you found an answer?
Bearer…
Or merely another throne?
⸻
[0:33 – 1:08 | Verse 1 – Aldia / Measured, Cold]
Flame is a leash disguised as light
Dark a hunger without sight
Kings will fall to either side
And call it right
My brother chose a fading crown
Another age to drown
Cycle spinning round and round
Without a sound
You gathered crowns like broken proof
But still stand on fragile roof
Will you chase eternal youth?
Or cut the root?
(fire crackles violently)
⸻
[1:09 – 1:35 | Chorus 1 – Haunting / Questioning]
Will you link the flame?
Will you curse the name?
Will you play the game
Again?
When the fire dies (dies)
And the dark replies (replies)
Who survives?
⸻
[1:36 – 2:10 | Verse 2 – Bearer / Calm but Firm]
I saw the poison under stone
Saw iron pride overthrown
Saw a king who stood alone
And burned for what he’d known
They weren’t saved by flame or night
They weren’t freed by endless fight
They failed because they lost their sight
Of what was right
You call it truth beyond despair
But truth without a will is air
If both paths end in snare
I won’t stand there
I’m not your pawn of first sin
Not your proof of what’s been
I don’t fear what’s within
I begin
(stand firm…)
⸻
[2:11 – 2:40 | Chorus 2 – Stronger / Determined]
I won’t link the flame
I won’t curse the name
I won’t be the same
Again
When the cycle bends (bends)
And the story ends (ends)
I transcend
⸻
[2:41 – 3:05 | Bridge – Aldia Intensifies / Reality Warps]
Aldia:
Then you would walk…
A path unknown?
Bearer:
Not unknown.
Unwritten.
(drums begin building)
⸻
[3:06 – 3:35 | Metal Build – Guitars Ignite]
(heartbeat becomes double kick)
⸻
[3:36 – 4:05 | Breakdown – Explosive / Scream + Choir Layer]
I AM NOT FIRE — I WON’T BE FUEL
I AM NOT DARK — I WON’T BE RULED
YOU BUILT A CYCLE COLD AND CRUEL
BUT I REFUSE
NO GOD TO FEAR — NO KING TO BE
NO SERPENT WHISPERING TO ME
NO HOLLOW CLAIMING MEMORY
I KEEP MY IDENTITY
(choir swells huge)
⸻
[4:06 – 4:35 | Final Chorus – Triumphant / Heavy but Clear]
Not losing my soul
Not losing control
Not burning to play a role
In fear
Let the old gods fade (fade)
Let new roads be made (made)
I won’t decay
Here
⸻
[4:36 – 4:55 | Outro – Flame Shrinks but Doesn’t Die]
(steady breathing… not hollow)
Aldia (fading):
Perhaps… you are the answer…
Bearer:
No.
I am the choice.
(cut to silence)
