At the Edge of Endurance
[intro]
In the silence before stars took flight
A whisper split the endless night
Light so cruel yet burning bright
A cosmos poised to choose its right
[verse]
He stands where time turns into sand
The keeper of the first command
Cold as laws that shaped the land
Eternal is his iron hand
[pre-chorus]
She walks through skies that fell apart
Holding screams that break the heart
If balance feeds on what we impart
Then balance fears the coming dark
[chorus]
At the edge where all things collide
Order fights with ruin side by side
If mercy cracks the laws so wide
Let shattered stars become our guide
Where forever starts to bend
Where creation meets its end
If hope must blaze to still ascend
Then let the final flames descend
[verse]
He speaks in echoes forged from light
"I rebuild what must stay tight"
She answers through the dying night
"I am the price of every fight"
[pre-chorus]
No crown no throne no sacred plea
Just fire against what ought to be
Two truths set the darkness free
Both flawed yet meant to disagree
[chorus]
At the edge where we now stand
Not as gods but as demand
If worlds must choose their final brand
Let fate decide where we will land
[outro]
When first spark meets the final flame
The stars will whisper every name
