The Last Dawn

Verse I
When endless night had choked the world and hope was laid to rest,
When fang and shadow reigned as kings and darkness stood confessed,
There walked a soul through ash and bone no mortal hand could stay,
A silent blade, a dying flame that would not fade away.

Pre-Chorus
No voice remained to call his name,
Yet still he fought, yet still he came—

⸻

Chorus
Sing of the last dawn rising,
Where night was torn apart,
He gave the world its morning light
At cost of his own heart.
No crown he wore, no throne he claimed,
No hand to take his own,
All hail the last dawn rising—
The man who stood alone.

⸻

Verse II
Through centuries of blood and war, through hunger, grief, and flame,
He carved a path through cursed earth, no mercy in his name.
The origin of all the damned at last was brought to heel,
And in its death, the curse was slain—yet so too was the steel.

Pre-Chorus
The war was won, the price was paid,
And in that light, his form did fade—

⸻

Chorus
Sing of the last dawn rising,
Where night was torn apart,
He gave the world its morning light
At cost of his own heart.
No crown he wore, no throne he claimed,
No hand to take his own,
All hail the last dawn rising—
The man who stood alone.

⸻

Bridge (hushed, almost reverent… but uncertain)
Was he damned or was he saved?
None remain who truly know…
For in the fire that cleansed the world,
He too was laid below.

⸻

Final Chorus (softer → swelling)
Sing of the last dawn rising,
Let every shadow cease,
For through the blood of one lost soul
The world was granted peace.
No grave to mark, no prayer to keep,
No voice to claim his name,
All hail the last dawn rising—
Remember why he came.
