[INTRO]
[SOFT PIANO]
[BREATH]
Raden...
Can you still hear me?
[Verse 1]
There was no sky where I awoke
No light to break the empty smoke
No hands to hold
No air to breathe
Only silence underneath
Then I heard a little laugh
A summer echo from the past
One tiny thread refused to part
So I stitched myself a heart
[CHORUS]
If I could lay your burden down
I'd trade the stars to hear no sound
You hold the sky
I hold the key
The cruelest mercy—
Is loving you enough to set you free
[Verse 2]
They call you guardian
They call you divine
I still remember your shaking hands in mine
They built their towers from your pain
They worship chains and call them grace
But I still know your human face
[CHORUS]
If I could lay your burden down
I'd trade the stars to hear no sound
You hold the sky
I hold the key
The cruelest mercy—
Is loving you enough to set you free
[BRIDGE]
[PIANO ONLY]
I found our daughter...
Where even echoes disappear.
She laughed...
Like summer never ended.
For one impossible moment...
You were waiting beside her.
I reached for both of you—
But the memories slip though my hands.
As she faded...
She wasn't asking me to stay.
She was asking me...
To bring you home.
[Verse 3]
I summon ghosts instead of flame
Each memory still speaks your name
The scent of rain
The warmth of spring
The way you'd laugh at foolish things
I wasn't pulled back here to live
I came back here...
So you could finally forgive.
[FINAL CHORUS]
If I could lay your burden down
I'd let the whole world crumble now
No gods.
No throne.
No endless plea.
Just one last breath—
With you beside me.
Maybe love was never meant
To conquer death.
Maybe love becomes the hand
That grants the end.
[OUTRO]
[PIANO FADES]
If your shield can stop forever...
Then lower it.
Just once.
Just for me.
[SILENCE]
