[Verse 1 – Isolde:]
You stand like stone in a burning field
Eyes don’t bow, and you never yield
Oh, I’ve seen this fire a thousand times
Every spark… rewrites its lines
Mathew fell, but he did not fade
I took the steel and I reforged the blade
What you call loss, I call design
Given enough time… you’ll be mine
[Verse 2 – Lim:]
I remember you in lantern light
Speaking truths without a fight
No chains, no crown, no hidden game
You looked at me and knew my name
What she has built is not the same
A hollow vow in a stronger frame
If you bend… you disappear
And I won’t lose what brought you here
[Pre-Chorus – Donna:]
You both speak like I’m alone
Like I stand here on my own
But I am held beyond your sight
By a hand that set me right
[Chorus – All (Layered)]
[Isolde:]
Stand with me — become the flame
[Lim:]
Stay with me — remain the same
[Donna:]
Walk with Him — I bear His name
[All Together:]
Break me, shape me, call it fate
Hold me, save me—it’s too late
I am not yours to recreate
Unbroken… by His grace
[Verse 3 – Isolde: (pressing harder)]
You call on things you cannot see
But I deal in reality
Power bends what faith defends
Every line… eventually ends
I can give you more than prayer
A world remade, a throne to wear
Why kneel to silence, unseen above?
When I can give you strength—and love
[Verse 4 – Lim: (conflicted, softer)]
If faith is what has made you strong
Then I won’t say that it is wrong
But I have seen what gods can take
As much as any dragon’s wake
Still… if that light is truly yours
I won’t be the hand that closes doors
Even if it means you choose
A path where I am left to lose
[Pre-Chorus – Donna: (firm, grounded)]
I have walked through ash and flame
Still I rise and speak His name
Not by power you can give
But by the truth in which I live
[Chorus – All: (Stronger)]
[Isolde:]
Stand with me — become the flame
[Lim:]
Stay with me — remain the same
[Donna:]
Walk with Him — I bear His name
[All Together:]
Pull me closer, tear apart
Claim the will or guard the heart
I was held from the very start
Unbroken… by His grace
[Bridge – Confrontation]
[Isolde: (low, dangerous):]
“Your God does not stand here.”
[Donna: (calm, unwavering):]
“He doesn’t need to.”
[Lim (quiet):]
“…Then that is something neither of us can fight.”
[Isolde:]
All things bend
[Lim:]
Some things remain
[Donna:]
I don’t stand by my own strength—
That’s why I won’t break
[Final Chorus – Full Power]
[Isolde:]
Stand with me — rise above
[Lim:]
Stay with me — don’t lose yourself
[Donna:]
Walk with Him — that is enough
[All Together:]
Break or hold, reshape or save
I am neither prize nor slave
I am His before your claim
[Donna (final line, solo):]
Unbroken… because I never stood alone
