[Verse 1]
I never planned to care, kept my world iced and still
Power was all I knew, every heart just bent to my will
Then came you, with those wide eyes, that unsure little smile
A soft bloom in my garden of thorns, untouched by the vile
---
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I guard what I almost let fade?
A treasure in gold I nearly betrayed
Every glance, every step you take
Wakes a heart I thought I locked away
---
[Chorus]
You’re my little star in a sky I once cursed
The only light I would burn the world to preserve
Don’t have to say a word, just breathe and be
And I’ll rewrite fate just to keep you near me
Tiny hands, heavy crown—but to me, you’re free
Athanasia, you’re everything to me
---
[Verse 2]
They see an emperor, cold with a storm in his eyes
But I see your laugh, and suddenly I’m just a guy
Trying to hold a miracle without breaking it apart
Terrified, ‘cause for once—I’ve given away my heart
---
[Bridge]
I’d silence kingdoms for your peace
Trade my sword for lullabies and dreams
You blink, and I forget the war
You're the love I never searched for
---
[Chorus]
You’re my little star in a sky I once cursed
The only light I would burn the world to preserve
Don’t have to say a word, just breathe and be
And I’ll rewrite fate just to keep you near me
Tiny hands, heavy crown—but to me, you’re free
Athanasia, you’re everything to me
---
[Outro]
You were born in my silence
Raised in my shadows
But you shine like a sunrise
Breaking through all I know
So live loud, love deep, be wild, be wise
And know this emperor would fall—just to see you rise
