Lyrics

A single word, a final choice
And suddenly, I hear a voice
Not in my head, but at my side
A place where hope was meant to hide
A flash of steel, a whispered spell
A story that I've come to tell
The Architect, the Rogue, the Bard
My own forgotten honor guard
And for a moment, we're a fire
A burning, beautiful desire
The beast is staggered, forced to yield
Behind a sudden, living shield
We hold the line, we turn the tide
With all the ghosts I keep inside
For one sweet breath, I'm not alone
And flesh feels stronger than the stone
The Scholar reads a forbidden scroll
To mend the warrior's broken soul
The Jester laughs and breaks the spell
Of this self-made, private hell
The Captain draws a line of salt
And brings the monster to a halt
They fight for me, a final stand
The last good men in a dying land
But Fenrir's rage is pure and deep
A promise that the dark will keep
A blur of fur, a flash of red
A Jester with a missing head
The Captain's line is washed away
By something that has come to play
A final scream, a broken rhyme
He buys me just a little time
And now they're gone, a final, silent plea
Just shattered ghosts, strewn 'round me
The fire's out, the hope is dead
And silence fills my broken head
The beast just watches, breathing slow
The saddest story that I know
Is that I wasn't strong enough
To save the only things I love
