Ember Pact

No throne.

No name.

Just flame.

⸻

Tattoo on my chest like a devil’s brand,

Burn when I breathe, tighten when I stand.

I cut the leash but it left a scar,

Freedom feels like a falling star.

City in ruin, sky bleed black,

Every step forward pull me back.

Chain still swing but it drag too slow,

Sound like a funeral down below.

I broke my master, I broke my code,

Now I’m alone on a broken road.

Ash in my lungs, smoke in my sight,

Every choice taste like a fight.

⸻

Ember pact — I signed in flame,

Lost my honor, lost my name.

If I burn then let me blaze,

I won’t kneel in the smoke I made.

Ember pact — no savior’s hand,

Just blood and steel and cursed land.

If this freedom’s what it costs —

Let it hurt. I’m already lost.

⸻

Mirror crack when I look inside,

Samurai ghost got nowhere to hide.

Ronin rage in the hollow chest,

Peace don’t come when you fail the test.

I hear the fallen inside the chain,

Every link got a drop of pain.

Every swing like a heartbeat skip,

Every breath like a loaded clip.

You call it power — I call it debt,

You call it freedom — I ain’t there yet.

I tore the banner, watched it fall,

Now I answer to nothing at all.

⸻

Ember pact — I signed in flame,

Lost my honor, lost my name.

If I burn then let me blaze,

I won’t kneel in the smoke I made.

Ember pact — carved in skin,

If I can’t go back, I’ll dive within.

If the dark’s the only path —

Then I’ll sharpen wrath.

⸻

No master.

No crown.

Hear that silence — that’s my sound.

Heart blacked out.

Flame won’t fade.

This is the choice I made.

⸻

Ember pact — let it ignite,

I was born in war, I’ll die in night.

If redemption never comes —

I’ll still become what I’ve become.

Ember pact — let it scar my soul,

I don’t need saving — I need control.

From broken oath to fire untamed —

Remember the man who chose the flame.
