🕯 ACT I — THE CHILD (DARK FOLK)
(Zona Style Tags:

(Lyrics)
They came at dawn with borrowed light
Steel kissed gold, said “we’re here to make this right”
My father stood where vows were sworn
My mother sang the hymn of morn
My brother reached, my sister prayed
The floor learned red, the saints looked away
They raised their cups, they split their take
And laughed at the bodies they chose to make
I hid in stone
I hid in breath
I learned the shape
Of quiet death
(Key Line (hold silence after):)
They never saw me.

🕯 ACT II — THE FORGING (DARK SPOKEN / RITUAL)
(Zona Style Tags:
spoken word villain, ritual drums, low strings, oathbreaker paladin, cinematic tension, whispered doubles)
(Lyrics)
I trained where echoes learned my name
Counted steps, counted pain
Learned where armor bends and breaks
Learned how long a scream can take
I studied mercy—its cost, its lie
Mercy is time, and time lets people hide
I took the oath my family kept
Then carved away what gods accept
No banners.
No choir.
No heaven waiting on my fire.
(Oathbreaker Moment (drop instruments)):
I did not fall.
I stepped aside.

🔥 ACT III — THE EXECUTION (DARK METAL)
(Zona Style Tags:
doom metal, drop-tuned guitars, double kick, villain anthem, tpk energy, epic choir stabs, no mercy)
CHORUS
No oath left to break
No prayer left to say
I don’t roll for mercy
I roll for the grave
You taught me the rules
The night you laughed and drank
Now face what you made—
Initiative.
Roll.
⸻
Verse
Healer first—always first
Casters bleed before the burst
Tanks get tired, heroes choke
Courage dies when plans are broke
I track your spells, your breath, your fear
This fight was over when I got here
You call me evil—I call it clean
Every death exactly as it needs to be
⸻
Final Line (music cuts)
You don’t remember my home.
I remember every cheer.
And I made sure…
You felt it.
