[Intro] So when you see a flicker in the dark A sudden ember, or a silver spark [Verse 1] I am the whisper in the frozen pines The silver shimmer where the river twines I've watched the centuries dissolve to dust While mortals build their empires on trust My wings have brushed the edges of the sun I've seen the battles lost and battles won [Drop] But none have known the burden that I bear The ancient curse of endless solitaire [Chorus] I am the shadow in the lunar light The slipping blade that cuts the edge of night I guard the secret that the world still keeps But freedom's price is paid in endless sleeps I am the fire underneath the stone The hollow echo when you walk alone I've traded heaven for a tarnished crown And burned my bridges when the sky came down [Verse 2] I was a guardian of the elder flame Before the humans ever learned my name They came with torches, seeking to possess The molten power in my beating chest I gave them wisdom, offered them my flight They answered back with iron, steel, and spite [Breakdown] So now I circle mountains made of bone A king of ashes on a broken throne [Bridge] Do you feel the thunder in my veins? The centuries of pleasure wrapped in chains? I could burn it all to cinder, dust, and sand But then who'd remember what we had at hand? The last of something sacred and untamed A myth that even gods have since disclaimed [Chorus] I am the shadow in the lunar light The slipping blade that cuts the edge of night I guard the secret that the world still keeps But freedom's price is paid in endless sleeps I am the fire underneath the stone The hollow echo when you walk alone I've traded heaven for a tarnished crown And burned my bridges when the sky came down [Outro] Don't reach for me, don't try to understand Just let me vanish like I always planned I am the story that you'll never hold The ancient, lonely, beautiful, and cold I am the shadow in the lunar light Still burning, still returning every night
